Just for the record (if it's not clear)--DEN still picked first because they had a worse regular-season record. If they had both been 13-3 (or 14-2), then DEN would have been #30 and IND #29.

The good news is that this game is at Tampa. Flying from Seatle to Tampa must be a longgg flight. Boy; it would be nice for them to lose

You're right. Not only was I being a jerk, I was also being stupid.

With our luck they'll lose both games and BB will use the #14 pick to draft a tight end.

Seattle could lose final two to finish at 8-8. But, SF has to win out to win the division.They might be Ariz. at home this week to get to 7-8. But, are at Denver last week. Very unlikely they win there. I give TB a better chance to beat Sea. than SF to beat Denver. Rams cannot win division because of tie-breakers. If Rams had beaten them once. We would be looking good.

As should have been obvious by the quotes later in the thread, that's not true. For example, a 9-7 team which loses the championship game will always pick later than a 9-7 team which loses their wildcard game.
