We may never get a more interesting battle of 2-13 teams than what's coming Sunday when the New York Giants visit the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Giants currently have the edge for the No. 1 draft pick due to a weaker strength of schedule. A victory against Vegas, who is also on a nine-game losing streak, would drop New York in the pecking order with one game left in the season.
Week 17 continues (with help from Tankathon.com) for 17 teams, 16 of whom have been eliminated from the postseason race.
(The Los Angeles Rams own the first-round draft pick of the Atlanta Falcons, who were eliminated in Week 14.)
Here’s a look at the bottom 10 teams...
1. New York Giants (2-13)
Remaining schedule:
Week 17 — at Las Vegas Raiders (2-13)
Week 18 — Dallas Cowboys (7-8-1)

Remaining schedule:
Week 17 — New York Giants (2-13)
Week 18 — Kansas City Chiefs (6-10)
Strength of schedule: .542
Do they have a QB for the future? No, the Geno Smith-Pete Carroll reunion has been a colossal bust in a town known for them.
3. Cleveland Browns (3-12)
Remaining schedule:
Week 17 — Pittsburgh Steelers (9-6)
Week 18 — at Cincinnati Bengals (5-10)
