OK, we're going with the premise nobody cares about the matchups, who might have a slight edge in what and who is hot. It's ALL about that draft pick at this point so let's get to:
DraftWatch 2017®
The Giants simply have to lose to Dallas today. IF the Browns can somehow manage to win two games and the Giants win no more it's the Giants in the #1 overall draft slot. They also can't afford to fall back any further if they hope for that very high pick ala 'QB of the future' after Eli. We'd be remiss if we didn't discuss the 'Gruden Rumor' that popped up this week as well. Monday Night Football analyst and Super Bowl winning coach with Tampa Bay, John Gruden said he'd be interested in the Giants head coaching job, only IF Eli were still the QB. That would also no doubt change the thinking of that top three pick. Gruden loves to run. The Barkley kid might fight that slot. It becomes more and more fun to speculate on the draft at this late date Giants fans, take it from Browns fan Johnny.
The Browns today have a better than average chance to actually win. Follow Johnny on this. The Packers are hot, just trying to get to Aaron Rodgers return next week for a late playoff push. They are expecting to win today in Cleveland. BUT, if you took these teams stats and took away the helmet indicator and you saw 'Defense vs Rush' or 'Rushing yards' and the like....you'd pick the Browns to win. Yes, the Browns look better on paper at 0-12 than 6-6 Green Bay. FYI the Browns are 6th against the rush in the NFL this year. Didn't have that did you? Also, the Browns fired their GM and hired someone new this week. Jobs are on the line. Veterans will show up to play today. That's why today could, stress could be that day the Browns rise up and win a game. With the Bears in two weeks they have another chance Giants fans, keep your eye on this game.
DraftWatch Standings:
Cleveland Browns 0-12
New Jersey Giants 2-10
San Francisco 49ers 2-10
Denver Donkeys 3-9
Indianapolis Colts 3-9
The Chicago Bears are also sniffing around the pile at 3-9. If you're a Browns fan, after the Bears come the Houston Texans at 4-8 and the Browns have their #1 pick for that classic Browns-like trade for Brock Assweiler.
Fearless Forecast
New Jersey Giants 21
Dallass Cowboys 20
