Golf isn’t the only sport with a back-nine.
Despite its reputation for parity, the NFL has nine teams stuck on two wins more than halfway through the season. So, as much talk as playoff races deserve over the next few weeks, save plenty of time for discussion on tanking and NFL Draft positioning.
As many as six of the nine two-win teams should be in the market for a new quarterback — in a year when there might only be two coming out of college with first-round grades (Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders). Maybe Texas’ Quinn Ewers, Alabama’s Jalen Milroe or Georgia’s Carson Beck sneak — or are forced — into the first round, too.
So let’s take a closer look at which of those teams have the most difficult upcoming schedule — also known as the easiest path to a better draft pick — ranked by remaining opponents’ winning percentages, as compiled by Tankathon.com.
