If the playoffs started today, here is who would be in:
AFCE Patriots 7-2
AFCN Steelers 5-2-1
AFCS Texans 6-3
AFCW Chiefs 8-1 #1 seed
Wildcards: Chargers 6-2, Bengals 5-3
NFCE Redskins 5-3
NFCN Bears 5-3
NFCS Saints 7-1 #1 seed
NFCW Rams 8-1
Wildcards: Panthers 6-2, Vikings 5-3-1
-
The "race" for the #1 overall draft pick:
Raiders 1-7
Giants 1-7
49ers 2-7
Bills 2-7
Cardinals 2-6
Browns 2-6-1
Additional note......in both the playoff picture And the draft order picture those TIES loom large: Steelers have a half game division lead over Bengals because of tie (which could also be extrapolated to a 1.5 game lead, because the Bengals lost to the Squibs). The Vikings tie on their record 5-3-1 means that they trail the Bears who are at 5-3.
And, the tie on the Browns record means that they actually are considered to have a better record that the 2-7 and 2-6 teams.
Do not be surprised if these ties make some definite difference in the playoff/draft pick situations.

The biggest games of the coming week between playoff contending teams are actually two AFCN vs. NFCS games:
Carolina at Pittsburgh, Thursday night
Saints at Bengals Sunday 1:00
I guess we shall see which of these divisions is the stronger.......as Browns play Falcons, another AFCN vs. NFCS. Ravens are on bye week.
Also, this gem of a Monday Night game:
Giants at 49ers!! Could be big in that #1 pick race. (did the schedule makers really think these teams would be good....or were they just going for the big market matchup? I think the latter.

Probably never. Browns are 1.5 games better than either Raiders or Giants.....and I might be surprised if either of those teams could win 2 more games.
One of them beat the Browns

Hey Gip, isn't there some protocol that even if the Browns have the worst record again, they don't get the #1 #1?

No
And for the record- NO team has ever had the #1 overall three years running, and I'd bet the ranch the Browns won't be picking first come 2019. That tie virtually guarantees it.
