Thanks for quoting it all!

I would have done more, but this forum software is pretty awful.

NYT has a spiffy interactive thing if the paywall doesn't block you:

Need the Jags and Jets I think to win so Carolina gets the 6th pick. Not likely because both teams will be underdogs, but I can't imagine Carolina beats new Orleans with HFA on the line for them, so 8th pick seems to be the worst scenario.

Gotta wait until 4 to see the Steelers roll over to end the season, rather have all 1pm games.

That’s not even logistically possible. You want west coast games starting at 10am local?
