Teo games left. Looking at the schedule, the teams sitting in the top-five may very well not win another game. That won’t matter. What does matter is our friend the Strength of Schedule. It’s in full force right now.
The San Francisco 49ers sit with the fourth pick if things end right now. In front of them is the New York Jets, a team that shares the same record of wins/losses and the SoS tiebreaker. Sharing the same record is the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the Jaguars have a better SoS.
So what does this mean?
