Scheduletron: Updated strength of schedule

As the Bills try to claw back into the playoffs, they’ll have to overcome one of the league’s hardest schedules. Their next two games are at Philadelphia and at Kansas City, and they also still need to play the Cowboys and Dolphins.   more »

Scheduletron: Updated strength of schedule

That win in Cincinnati could prove to be pivotal – for both the Texans and the Bengals. Both of those teams are 5-4, but Houston has a much easier remaining schedule.   more »

Scheduletron: Updated strength of schedule

Scheduling should play a role in the crowning of the NFC South winner. The Bucs have a modest closing schedule, but if the current numbers are to be believed, the Falcons and Saints have the easiest remaining schedules in the league.   more »

Scheduletron: Updated strength of schedule

The Cowboys will play Philadelphia twice in their next six games, but if scheduling means much, they look like an offense that should be on the rise in the coming weeks.   more »

Scheduletron: Strength of schedule

The Bengals took a step in the right direction on Sunday, with Joe Burrow and JaMarr Chase connecting on 3 TDs, but I’m still nervous about their ability to truly get back into the race. They didn’t get any favors from the schedulers.   more »

Scheduletron: Love the schedule

The way the schedule is stacked, I like Aaron Rodgers’ old offense a lot more than his new one. The Packers have a much easier schedule than the Jets.   more »

Scheduletron: Defensive SOS

Strength of schedule tends to be used primarily as an offensive tool. What quarterbacks will face the leakiest secondaries? And which running backs will run against the softest defenses. But it can also be used to gauge which defenses are most likely to come through.   more »

Scheduletron: Fast starters

Panthers and Packers. Those are two teams I believe will produce above expectations, and I notice that both have favorable schedules early. Both look well positioned to start quickly.   more »

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. That provides an indication of how the public believes teams will perform. It makes some sense, I think, to use those figures in evaluating strength of schedule.   more »

Scheduletron: Falcons rising?

Post draft, we can start identifying some of the teams and offenses that we feel will outperform expectations. The Falcons, I think, look like one of them. They’ve been loading up on talent, and they’re in the right division in the right conference.   more »

Scheduletron: Strength of schedule

I heard it suggested a couple of times on podcasts this week that the Eagles have benefited from playing an easy schedule – that their defense hasn’t really been tested.
