Nine winless teams left

September 17, 2024

Nine winless teams left … Two weeks into the current NFL season there are 9 teams sitting at 0-2. However, that list includes at least 4 teams that were considered to be playoff teams heading into the season. And those 4 include somewhat shockingly Baltimore which was thought to be a legit Super Bowl contender, while Cincinnati, Jacksonville and the LA Rams were at least solid playoff favorites. Meanwhile, the other 5 winless teams include Carolina, Denver, Indianapolis, Tennessee and the NY Giants. Its still several weeks too early to start posting the updated selection order ‘if the draft were held today’ , but if the draft were held this week Cincinnati would have the first pick because the Bengals have a very low .412 SOS figure. They would be followed by Indianapolis and Tennessee, both at .471, Jacksonville at .500, and the Giants at .529, although as we have noted in the past the strength of schedule numbers can change vary dramatically based just a game or two this early in the season.
