Overview
- FOX Sports' updated draft order after the Christmas games lists the Giants at No. 1 and the Raiders at No. 2 entering Week 17.
- The loser of Giants–Raiders will control its own destiny for the No. 1 overall pick heading into Week 18.
- Analysts outline a Giants clinch scenario this weekend that requires a loss to Las Vegas, a Browns win over the Steelers, and securing the strength-of-schedule edge.
- The SOS condition can be met either by a Jets win over the Patriots or by accumulating at least seven SOS points from other results such as Bills and Ravens victories.
- Las Vegas’ simplest route to the top pick is to lose its final two games, while other Week 17 outcomes have already shifted boards, including the Cowboys diminishing their top-10 chances and the Commanders locking one in.
