Round 1...... San Francisco
Round 1...... Ours
Round 2...... Ours
Round 3.......Oakland
Round 3....... Ours
Where is the first Round 3 pick coming from, somehow I missed this??
I filled in the blank for you. Good news on where it's coming from
and I hope that the PAts are picking at #15 (don't want to pay too much),#32,#64,#65,#96.......for the obvious reasons....
Even I (who thinks less of SF than just about anyone here) can't imagine 2-14. But I maintain that right now if I were to make odds for their schedule they would only be the favorite in 3 games. They weren't a good team last year (7-9 despite the 5th worst point differential in the league) and while they've improved on paper some this offseason, it's not as dramatic as some think. Add to that, Alex Smith's numbers were better in the first half of the season than the second. .500 is their most optimistic outlook IMO.What if.....San Fran has some problems and their season goes to %&$@ and ends up 2-14?
I doubt that San Fran will finish that bad, but I can't see them over .500 either, but we can only hope!
I love having two other teams to root for each weekend.
I've bolded the three games I'd make them favorites in right now. Actually, make it four, I'll add home to Minnesota.Actually I was just looking at their schedule and they better win opening night or they could easily be staring 0-8 right in the face!
10-Sep Arizona-pick'em, maybe a slight favorite
16-Sep @St. Louis-at the Dome on a short week, that will be tough
23-Sep @Pittsburgh-back to back trips east, and Pitts is always tough
30-Sep Seattle-won't get swept by them
7-Oct Baltimore-will make Smith beat them, don't think he can
Week 6 BYE
21-Oct @N.Y. Giants-long trip back east.
28-Oct New Orleans-too good for them
4-Nov @Atlanta-third trip to the east coast, another good running team.
12-Nov @Seattle-Seattle is tough at home.
18-Nov St. Louis
25-Nov @Arizona
2-Dec @Carolina
9-Dec Minnesota
15-Dec Cincinnati
23-Dec Tampa Bay
30-Dec @Cleveland
There, that looks better.i think the SF's pick will be somewhere between 6 and 15
i think the SF's pick will be somewhere between 15 and 25
Oakland's pick should be in the top 10-15 in round 3.
So, it gives this:
ROUND 1
SF: 15-25
NE: 26-32
ROUND 2:
NE: 26-32
ROUND 3:
OAK: 1-10
NE: 26-32
If we use the median pick, it should mean:
20
29
61
69
93
I'd narrow the range for the Oakland pick to 1- 5 myself.
