Week 12 NFL rooting guide for 2019 draft order

The San Francisco 49ers were on bye for Week 11, but got a ton of help from the league’s worst. The New York Giants managed to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (whom the 49ers will play today) and the Oakland Raiders pulled a win off the Arizona Cardinals. How the Raiders forgot to Raider, we may never know.

In any case, this puts the pool of two-win teams fighting for draft positioning via strength of schedule: The 49ers, Arizona Cardinals, and Oakland Raiders. Right now the 49ers win via strength of schedule—head to head records do not count in draft positioning.
