(NFL) My anti-tanking Lottery ball system

[ChuckyTheGoat]

The Jets and Raiders are pathetic. Could you care any less? Fans should get rebates on the way out the door.

Lottery ball system for Non-Playoff teams. That would be 18 teams under current format. Two-tier weighting to give each team a # of ping-pong balls:
Step One: Rank order the teams. 18 for worst team, 1 for team #18.

Step Two: You get CREDIT for late-season wins:
+5 for Week 18 win
+4 for Week 17 win
+3 for Week 16 win

*Final. Sum up Ping-Pong balls from Step 1 + Step 2. Throw em in a bin.
...Draw out for first six slots.
...After six slots, rank order 7 to 18.
...Worst team is guaranteed no worse than 7-slot.

[Optional]

Is any team really going to want to risk injuries or fight for an 18th place participation trophy?

Like the idea to de-incentivize tanking though.

Maybe make order based on stats up to week 12 only?

Thx, Opti. Pretty clear to me that some teams mailed it in.
