We need as many of the following to win:

Houston

Philadelphia 

I can see 2 and maybe 3 realistic winning chances here, but stranger things have happened. I fully expect to draft at 7 or so  but getting to the 5 spot and being ahead of the Falcons will give us a shot at Wilson or Fields, possibly without a trade. Also, while I hate to do it, we need a Saints win. Hopefully next season I can go into the last game of the season wanting to destroy a Saints team with no Drew Brees and wrap up a division championship.

I think (based on my mocks) that the difference between 8 and 9 is huge---you have to consider "how affordable is a trade up?" and worry about getting leap frogged by the Patriots, Colts, Niners, Raiders, or even the Lions.  It is crazy. 

If we landed on 7, I would make an offering to the football Gods.  I see our team coming out fighting like its a bowl game, and we upset the Saints--I see it---scaring me.

An interesting note about the Detroit game, Dalvin Cook will not play for Minnesota. Unfortunately his dad passed away (Prayers for family), and he will not suit up today. 

If I had to guess, the Giants and Eagles have the best chances today. I could see Detroit and Atlanta getting wins if the chips fall in place

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
