The Patriots and Lions were only behind us because they had played one less game. Our SOS was always better. The Panthers SOS is higher than ours and we're only behind them because they've played an extra game so if we keep losing that will sort itself out.
Cowboys winning is a good thing too. Moves them to 3 wins and I can't see Cinci winning another game so they'll stay in 3rd spot to block Washington out of top 3.
Vikings losing is only temporary. Their schedule isn't very daunting. They should pick up some wins and hopefully more than us.
Atlanta - yeah f**k em.
Week 12, provided we lose to the Rams we've got....
Lions v Texans - whoever wins that falls behind us
Cowboys v Washington - Winner joins us on 4 wins (and we play both still)
Vikings v Panthers - Whoever wins falls behind us
Bengals v Giants - Giants likely to join us on 4 wins, but you never know
The wildcard in all of this is that the Eagles will likely no longer be leading the division after next week so they will slot in ahead of us somewhere.
I think we lose our next 2 (Rams, Bills) and then after that the Cows/Washington games will decide whether top 10 is a genuine chance or just a dream.
How hilarious would it be if Washington beats Dallas and us, and somehow wins the NFC East and screws themselves out of a top pick by making the playoffs? It's a lofty idea, but hey man, 2020. Either way, having Washington out of the 3rd pick is ideal for us and our hopes of getting Zach Wilson here to SF.
