Scheduletron: Strength of schedule

Bad news for those who like to bitch and moan that the Patriots benefit from easy schedules. For the 2020 season, New England projects to play the hardest schedule in the entire league.  more »

Kansas City and San Francisco will meet in the Super Bowl, and both got there fair and square. Neither was helped much at all by scheduling.  more »

Scheduletron: Updated strength of schedule

Kansas City’s offense has been a disappointment this year, averaging only 3 TDs per week. That’s about a touchdown less than what most were expecting. And as I look at the closing games, I’m not thinking that unit will suddenly spring to life.  more »

Scheduletron: Updated strength of schedule

As poorly as the Jets played Monday night, let’s not kick them to the curb just yet. They’re upcoming schedule is chock full of remarkably bad defenses.  more »

Scheduletron: Strength of schedule

Upcoming opponents are in place, so we can take an early look at strength of schedule for the 2019 season. And two teams that played in the conference championship games project to play the schedules that tie as the 2nd-easiest in the league.  more »

Scheduletron: Updated strength of schedule
