This weekend's "Bush Bowl" is really not a big deal after all.


Who do the Lions want to win for SOS?

If Tennessee wins (and assuming G.B. loses to Seattle).........the Lions need a win from Houston to move ahead of Tennessee.

ALSO......if Buffalo loses to the JETS, the Lions need a Houston win (assuming G.B. loses to Seattle) to guarantee they move ahead of Buffalo on SOS to get the #9 pick. A Raiders win over the Giants also guarantees the #9 pick.......but I wouldn't count on that.


GO Seattle!
GO St. Louis!
GO Houston!
GO Oakland and Tennessee!........but we're not counting on you!

What would be even better is if the other 5 win teams pull off upsets!
Buffalo is favored over the Jets, but the rest of them are underdogs. I want to see:

Arizona over Indianapolis
Cleveland over Baltimore
St. Louis over Dallas

Also, a Tennessee win over Jacksonville or an Oakland win over the Giants, could push them behind the Lions in draft position.

If all of those things happen, combined with a loss to Pittsburgh, the Lions would have the 6th pick in the draft.

here's my analysis of what we want....


TEN over JAX 1 spot STL has big SOS lead
OAK over NYG 1 spot
STL over DAL 1 spot & SOS
BUF over NYJ 1 spot
ARI over IND 1spot & SOS penalty
CLE over BAL CLE currently behind us in SOS

SEA over GB major DET SOS
KC over CIN BUF & DET SOS
CAR over ATL ARI SOS
MIA over NE TEN and CLE SOS
NO over TB STL SOS
HOU over SF unless we want STL weaker instead of BUF
MIN over CHI STL SOS

WAS / PHI irrelevant
DEN / SD irrelevant

it is possible for the lions to get as high as the 6th pick, but to win SOS over STL will be awfully tough, we need a lot of games to go our way for that!

Trust me... no way the Cardinals are losing this one...

16-0 baby
