Sound math skills there Max. Impressive, really. However I applaud still managing to ask others to double-check the work.
That's great.

Anyhow does anyone know the strength of schedule and who would get the second pick?

Who gets the second pick? They would both have three wins right?

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Colts and Giants contested The Greatest Game Ever Played 59 years ago on Thursday. 

Next Sunday, they will vie to secure their spot as the NFL's Worst Team Not Named The Browns in 2017. 

The race for the No. 2 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft is going down to the wire. The Giants (2-13) and Colts (3-12) will enter Week 17 in contention to grab the second spot behind only Cleveland, which clinched the No. 1 pick for the second straight year Sunday when it lost to the Bears and dropped to 0-15. 

The Giants are guaranteed to draft no lower than the third pick. But here's how they can win, or lose, the No. 2 pick in the final weekend of the season: 

GIANTS CLINCH NO. 2 PICK IF ... The Giants guaranteed themselves at least the third pick in the draft with their historic 23-0 loss to the Cardinals at University of Phoenix Stadium on Sunday. They will wrap up the No. 2 pick next Sunday with either a loss or tie against the Redskins (7-8) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, or a Colts win or tie against the Texans (4-10) in Indianapolis. 

GIANTS LOSE NO. 2 PICK IF ... They beat the Redskins to finish 3-13 and the Colts lose to Houston to also finish 3-13. In this scenario, the Giants would lose the strength of schedule tiebreaker and pick third. The Colts have a much weaker schedule. Their opponents have a combined winning percentage of .485 as of Monday morning, according to Tankathon, while the Giants' is .532.
