[Beerfacedlegend]

Here’s one a vast majority of people are perplexed about including myself and it got me a little worried from looking at different mocks , it comes down to Atlanta killing are chances of drafting a franchise qb this draft . With two games left and we both lose out who gets the top draft spot ? Sorry for the post but I’ve been searching for this answer all day ! Thank you all for the replies and happy hurney firing day

Right now we have the worse strength of schedule. If that holds we pick before Atlanta. I think.

Also this says we pick before ATL if you plug in two losses for each.

Root for Dallas and Seattle to win and Arizona and Washington (except this week against us)to lose. Those are the 2 uncommon opponents between us. 

Right now we have a 1 game worse record between those 2 teams giving us a slight edge.

If the draft started right now we have them beat just barely by having a slightly lower SOS

I haven't fact checked you but if true, considering we need Washington to beat us,  that would make the tally even and then we have to hope Washington and Arizona lose more games combined than Dallas and Seattle. Given Dallas is on one side of that equation, I don't have a lot of confidence. Curious, if we have the same SOS, then what? A coin flip I think. 

Our best chance might be Atlanta stealing one in the finale against Tampa. Either way though, I don't know if I'm going to lose too much sleep about picking 4 vs 5

The Falcons and Panthers played the same teams except Carolina played (or will play) Washington and Arizona and Atlanta played Dallas and Seattle. The tiebreaker is based on strength of schedule, which changes from week-to-week depending upon whether a team your played won or lost.

Since the 4 teams (2 for each) above are the only differentiating teams, you need to become a fan of Dallas and Seattle (the more they win, the the greater the strength of schedule for Atlanta) and hope Washington (except next week) and Arizona lose (the more they lose, the weaker the strength of schedule for the Panthers).

Obviously if Atlanta were to win a game and the Panthers lose both then none of this matters as it relates to the Falcons but still apply to other 4 win teams.

Seattle has two tough games ahead, at home to the Rams and away to the 49ers.  I think they'll be favored in both, but not guaranteed.

Dallas has winnable games with the Eagles at home and the Giants away.

Cardinals have a fight with home against the 49ers and away to the Rams.

Washington has us and the Eagles, both winnable games for them.

Bottom line is that it's still too close to call.  Atlanta would have done us all a favor by winning last week, but Falcons gonna Falcons.
