This week will go a long way to deciding if the Pats have the first or second pick in the third round next year. With both the Raiders and the Chiefs (their main competition for the worst record) playing games that they might actually win (OAK vs DET, KC vs HOU). Let's hope Herm can pull one out, and the Raiders stake their claim to the worst record.

As for our other rooting (against interest), if Arizona can beat SF, SF will be staring a very, very rough start to their season, as their opening schedule gets very tough after Arizona.....

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

If they don't beat AZ, they could easily be staring 0-6 right in the face!

the second half of their schedule is much easier, especially now that Vick will be in prison and not on the field.
