Through seven weeks, the Detroit Lions are alone in 1st place in next year's draft.

Fields is a poor man's Hurts, and Dallas did a pretty good job defensively against the eagles. Shame about their offense, though.

Also, in the NFC here are the current strength of schedule numbers:

Above or at 0.500:
Lions: 0.650
Packers: 0.583
Cowboys: 0.565
Commanders/Cardinals: 0.522
Bears: 0.521
Rams: 0.512
Saints: 0.500

Below 0.500:
Giants 0.479
Eagles/Vikings: 0.475
Bucs: 0.476
49ers/Panthers: 0.458
Falcolns: 0.438
Seahawks: 0.370

I think the NFC north and Dallas suffer from having to play the NFCE. Commanders also have to play the NFCE and are up there. :lol: the seahawks have a cupcake schedule.

I never know how much stock to put into SOS because yeah it makes sense that teams with bad records have high SOS, they keep losing so their opponents have more combined wins! And of course, the inverse is true for teams with good records.

Has anybody ever looked at end-of-season standings in comparison to SOS?

E: the funny thing about Detroit is that some of the excited chatter going into this season was fuels by a belief that they would have a relatively soft schedule this year. Now people are saying they have the hardest schedule in the league this year and you all wonder why us Lions fans are so beat down. It never ever ends.

The joys of parity.

Parity is when your team hasn't won a title since Eisenhower was in office :goleft:

I remember a couple of copium articles when WCF was nearing death that the league should put its thumb on the scale a bit to help get one of its longest-serving owners a shot at a Super Bowl, but alas. Not like he deserved it.
