A looked at the revised strength of schedule numbers after the conclusion of the Week 11 games, and also a look at which teams have benefited from easy schedules so far. The Seahawks are a league-best 10-1, but they have also played the league's easiest schedule.
Both of these charts are based on how teams have played thus far (wins and losses).
Teams with the hardest remaining schedules are the Chargers, Rams and Raiders.

| Minnesota | 34 | 28 | .548 |
| Seattle | 28 | 22 | .560 |
| Tampa Bay | 35 | 26 | .574 |
| Arizona | 37 | 25 | .597 |
| Oakland | 36 | 24 | .600 |
| St. Louis | 38 | 23 | .623 |
| San Diego | 42 | 19 | .689 |
As far as which teams have benefited SO FAR from schedules, Seattle, San Diego and Kansas City head the list.
The Jaguars, Bills and Giants have played the hardest schedules. (So fair that Buffalo and Jacksonville will play easy schedules going forward -- they've already done their hard games.)
On this chart, I removed teams own games. So Seattle's opponents aren't actually a combined 42-57. They're really 43-67 including their 1-10 record against the Seahawks.
