    That was a joke. I thought that was obvious.

    So the only error I see here is the 49ers/Chargers. That game has no impact on either Titans or Bucs SoS. Also, we will want the Steelers to beat the Chiefs. Having to pull for the Ravens and Steelers in the same week... that's rough.

    Luckily not ALL of these need to happen, but the majority definitely do. There's very little wiggle room here... We can get by with one or maybe two. Some games hold more weight. There's no hope for the Rams to beat the Seahawks in Seattle, and fortunately we can get by with the Seahawks winning that game.

    All in all, it's still very unlikely we get the #1 pick even if we finish 2-14. The Bucs really need to win. That's likely our only hope.

    Nope...we actually managed to earn another L. Unless we miraculously beat the Colts we will have at least the #2 pick which is still a great pick to trade out of with a team wanting a QB or we can take the remaining QB or the top defensive player in the draft.

    I am surprised that we did. I still hope we get 2 and TB takes Mariota at 1. Leaves us in a great spot to trade back

    Yup, if the Bucs take either QB, which I'd expect them to, any other team wanting a QB may actually pony up to swap picks. Move back a couple spots, pick the best defensive player we can and get some extra picks to rebuild the D and OL.

    It really sucks to have wasted this season, but if the FO handles the draft and FA well they could really turn things around quickly. That said, my faith in the FO is pretty low at this point so.......

    Here is the updated who to cheer for the rest of the season. This is assuming that both the Titans and Bucs lose out.
    WEEK 16:
    Ravens to beat the Texans. This would give the the Bucs an extra win and would give us an extra loss since we played the Texans 2x this yr and the ravens only once.

    Carolina to beat the Browns. This would give the Bucs 2 wins and the Titans a loss.

    Patriots to beat Jets

    Rams to beat the Giants. This gives the Bucs a win and the Titans a loss

    Dallas to beat the Colts. This gives us an extra loss since we played Dallas 1x and Colts 2x during the year

    Denver and Cincy is a wash since we both only played the Bengals. If the Broncos win we both add a loss if Cincy wins we both get a win.

    Skins to beat the Eagles because this gives the Bucs an extra win. Since we played both teams it is a wash on our W/L record

    Vikings to beat Miami. This gives Bucs a win

    WEEK 17:
    Skins to beat the Cowboys. This gives Bucs a win while being a wash to our W/L since we played them both

    Rams to beat Seattle. This gives Bucs a win

    Chargers to beat Chiefs. This gives Titans a loss

    Miami to beat the Jets. This gives Titans a loss

    If you look at who is favored in these games and figure it out then the Bucs will have the 1st pick by 1 game. But the favorites never win them all....we still have a chance.

    Assuming we get the first pick, we should make it VERY clear that we are open to trade the pick, but if we don't, we are picking Mariota.

    That will be the best way to get the most out of the pick.

    And I don't think it should be a bluff. If someone isn't willing to give us the Redskins deal, pick the duck.

    You're still forgetting Steelers over Chiefs this week... that game doesn't matter for our SoS, but it gives the Bucs' opponents an extra win.

    Otherwise, great job doing this... I looked into it as well, and everything you've said is spot on.
