The No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft might be at stake on Sunday.
In a matchup between the NFL’s only two-win teams this season, the loser of the New York Giants–Las Vegas Raiders game will control its own destiny to get the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft entering Week 18.
There are some other games this weekend that will have a big impact on next year’s draft order. The Dallas Cowboys‘ chances of getting a top-10 pick essentially went away with their win on Christmas Day, while the Washington Commanders guaranteed themselves a top-10 pick with their loss on Thursday.
Elsewhere, the Los Angeles Rams are in a rare situation where a win would improve their draft capital. They own the Atlanta Falcons‘ first-round pick this year, so a victory on Monday night would improve the Rams’ chances of getting a top-10 pick in April’s draft.
