Numbers Time: Transitive Property

Well, gee, if the NFL keeps scheduling the worst teams to play each other, these awful squads might be in playoff contention into December. With the Rams falling for the first time, this is starting to look like one of the most even seasons in a long time. No one is invincible, so everyone is safe, for now.

Thanks to the unfortunate scheduling, we have a clear idea of the hierarchy of crap. The Cardinals beat the Niners, and the Niners beat the Raiders. Cardinals > Niners > Raiders. Official.

So for one more week, the 1-7 Raiders and Giants are still in playoff contention. Since they’re not playing each other, they may never win again. I can only hope.
