Records:Jets: 3-9; 49ers: 1-11

Where they stand:San Francisco's best chance to win again this season comes this week. The Niners are at home playing against a Jets team that looked wholly uninspired in a 41-10 loss to Indianapolis, and is coming off a short week as well. Still, San Francisco remains the biggest threat to the Browns for the No. 1 pick, and owns an edge on Cleveland in the strength-of-schedule tiebreaker (the team with the lower SOS picks first if there's a tied record). The Browns' SOS: .569; the Niners': .531. However, a team's SOS changes each week.

Looking ahead: The Falcons, Rams and Seahawks await San Francisco after the Jets game, two of them on the road. Is the win ceiling for the 49ers three? Three wins would net a high pick, but almost certainly not the No. 1 choice. The Jets are slotted fifth in the draft order, and their remaining opponents after San Francisco (the Dolphins, Patriots and Bills) are each .500 or better.
