That is an interesting statistic that I had no knowledge of. What better stat can you think of that demonstrates the importance of winning your division game. Thanks for that

I don't put much stock in strength of schedule but help me understand how it is possible that both the Steelers and the Ravens have a lower strength of schedule. Is it because there are two games that are scheduked in advance that are different from the teams that we play? Even though the other two were scheduled after the end of last season? If that is the case why doesn't the NFL schedule all four games after the end of the previous season?

It is probably because they have 2 games against the Browns who were only 5-11 last year, where the Browns have 2 games each against them whose record was much better.

It seems to me that we play the same 14 games as the other teams in our division. With only two teams being different based on our record the previous year. So my question is that if the Browns finished in last place in their division how is it that they have a higher strength of schedule than two other teams in their division?

Is it Because they play the Browns twice?

Does anybody know the details of the calculation off the top of their head?

Is it Because they play the Browns twice? Exactly. The calculation is pretty simple- just add up the won-loss record of the opponents.

And before anyone complains about the Browns schedule, the Bengal's is murderous. They not only get the Saints and Patriots (like the Browns do) but because they finished in first place last year they get the Colts and Chargers instead of the Chiefs and Jaguars.

Its sweet that the Saints have the 6th easiest schedule.

its because they play the browns and the whole NFC West.. none of which had good records last year..

alot of the opponents on the browns schedule look tough now, but let's see how they look right before the season opener and also mid-season.

Ha, I didn't even think of that. That's got to be it!

It is strictly a rotation-based schedule. I'm pretty sure the NFL adopted it starting in 1978 when it expanded to a 16 game schedule, and they have altered it through expansion.

I was just about to ask the very same question. I haven't looked to see if Thanksgiving is involved or something like that.

Every time I look at the schedule I have the same reaction: brutal. I really hope that Mangini doesn't need a winning record this season in order to stay on board. Hopefully it is enough to see real progress and more close games.

Not to mention the "schedule' in so far as opponents was set maybe 5-6 years ago with the exception of the 2 wildcard games against teams of similar record the previous year.

Face it...The steelers are good, cincy is good, and balt is good, and we have to play them twice.

If they sucked and we were the reining SB champion, we would have a easy schedule.

The schedule was only posted through this season 7 years ago, but if they follow the same schedule, here are our opponents through 2017 not including the two opponents not determined until the season is completed.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to strength of schedule.. Teams are different every year. Plus we play an entire AFC and NFC division each year. This year the AFC North plays the AFC East and the NFC South (last yr it was AFC West, NFC North). We then have 6 division games and then 2 extra games.. These "extra" games are from the same conference and are harder or easier based on how well a team played during the previous season.. That is why we play Kansas City and Jacksonville because they weren't that good last year either. A team like the Saints, who won the Super Bowl, play Minnesota and Dallas (too much harder opponents).
