2012 NFL Draft: Odds the NFL's 5 Worst Teams Will Land Andrew Luck

There seems no doubt that Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck will go to whichever NFL team manages to lose and lose and lose the rest of this season.

Luck didn’t have to do too much against the University of Washington on Saturday, throwing just 21 times. He completed 16 of those, two for touchdowns. He has the undefeated Cardinals in the Top 5 with a chance for BCS glory and is a strong Heisman Trophy candidate.

And the competition for him appears to be fierce. Coming into Sunday afternoon's games, five of the 32 NFL teams had zero or one wins.

Here’s how we scope out the Luck derby:

Indianapolis Colts (winless) 5-2

Without Peyton Manning to steer the ship of state, the Colts are a train wreck.

While moving from Kerry Collins to Curtis Painter at quarterback, the Colts are looking to find lightning in a bottle.

Lightning's name is Andrew Luck, and they’ve got a great chance at finding him.

St. Louis Rams (winless) 3-1

It’s one thing that the Rams have a relatively soft schedule the rest of the way, playing more losing teams than winners from here on out.

But with quarterback Sam Bradford hurting and a team ranked 30^th in points given up and dead last in points scored, this team has what it takes.

Miami Dolphins (winless) 9-2

The Dolphins should have come out a winner Sunday, but Tim Tebow led a great Denver comeback for an overtime win.

Two things: The Dolphins could have scored more against Denver, but quarterback Matt Moore didn't get enough help.

And the Miami defense should have been able to shut down a terrible-looking Bronco offense, an eventuality that didn't happen, either. 

The Dolphins haven’t seen their Luck luck run out.

Jacksonville Jaguars (one Win) 8-1

The Jaguars, who play a tough Ravens team at home Monday in front of what figures to be a psyched hometown crowd, have the second-worst scoring offense in the league.

That alone makes Jacksonville a contender for Luck.

However, the Jaguars have an above-average defense led by linebacker Daryl Smith that has allowed 17 points or less in three of their first six games,

Sooner or later they’re likely to win some of those games they’ve been losing (five losses in a row) and take themselves out of the Luck derby.  

Arizona Cardinals (one Win) 10-1

The Cardinals are up against it in a late game Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, so they’re likely to stay in the running for the first draft pick.

The trouble is that the combination of Kevin Kolb throwing to Larry Fitzgerald is likely to produce some upset wins in the next few weeks.

And the more a team wins now, the less opportunity for bringing Luck aboard.
