Seattle-Denver.. Who to root for? - New England Patriots Forums

I hope Denver wins. They won't beat out S.D. so we won't have to play them @ Denver in the playoffs.
The more the Seahawks lose the better their pick will be next year.

I should know this but if Seattle wins their division which is almost a certainty, how is their pick determined if they don't win the NFC Championship game? Order of regular season finish???

edit: The answer determines my rooting interest

I believe so but someone else on board should have that answer

If Seattle wins the division the earliest they will pick will be after all the non playoff teams, that's #21.

Assuming they don't go to the SB they are then slotted according to regular season record. So if they had the worst record of the playoff teams, and didn't go to the SB, we would pick #21. We can't pick higher assuming they win the division.

I'm rooting for Denver, I hate Branch with all my heart and soul.

I don't hate Branch but wish we knew this Before the draft. We could have had this receiver situation handled better than it is now.
Can't blame him for going for the money but he won't a SB with Seattle

Before the draft, the twerp said that he would honor his contract so HE was the reason we didn't know.

IF you knew, then you wouldn't have taken Maroney???

That's what I said. We could have traded him before last years draft and grabbed another receiver or grabbed a FA one.

The same number of teams will make the playoffs - if not Denver, someone else will
