We have an interesting race to the bottom shaping up. For me, I think our 3 best candidates are Houston, Jacksonville, and Minnesota. Their schedules shape up as follows:
MIN - CHI, @BAL, PHI, @CIN, DET
HOU - NE, @JAX, @IND, DEN, @TEN
JAX - @CLE, HOU, BUF, TEN, @IND
Jacksonville clearly has the easiest schedule and should be able to steal two wins out of that span. So that leaves us with Minnesota and Houston. I can't see Minnesota winning a game for the rest of the year, unless they somehow steal one at home against Chicago. Houston looks pretty dicey, too. I have it looking like this at the end of the year.
1. HOU 2-14
2. MIN 2-13-1
3. JAX 3-13 or 4-12
The good news for Vikings fans is they're all but guaranteed either Bridgewater or Mariota. That being said, how insane would it be if Houston and Jacksonville picked 1 & 2 and we ended up with a division of Luck, Mariota, and Bridgewater for the next 10 years? Hell, even Luck, Mariota/Bridgwater, and Manziel would be pretty entertaining.
