Scheduletron: Strength of schedule

Earlier in the week, I posted an article showing the expected win-loss totals for each team, using the current point spreads for each of the 272 regular-season games.

If specialized strength of schedule means anything, then the Bears and Panthers should get some advantage this year for passing production.  more »

Scheduletron: Strength of schedule

The Ravens not only have a really good team, they also project to play the league’s easiest schedule. Using last year’s win-loss records, anyway.  more »

Scheduletron: Updated strength of schedule

For the remainder of the season, it looks like most of the teams that will benefit from having easier schedules tend to have lesser offenses. (Washington and Miami, anyone?) While some of the better teams close with difficult schedules.  more »

Scheduletron: Strength of schedule, rushing

Baltimore and Seattle had the league’s two best rushing offenses at the end of last year. They also, as luck would have it, project to play the easiest schedules against the run in the upcoming season.  more »
