Thanks to the strength of their 2019 schedule, the road for the Patriots to advance to their third straight Super Bowl is going to be an easy one.

Based on strength of schedule rankings for each team, only the Washington Redskins have an easier path in 2019 than the Patriots.

The rankings are done by determining the combined winning percentage of a team’s 16 upcoming opponents based on their record from the previous year.

 

 

Inconceivable!!!

All we have to do is get Edmunds and Hughes to break Brady's spine with a 'sack from the Gods' and all of a sudden, the Paytoilet's schedule becomes the toughest one of 2019.

The teams you play are what they are. What is really important is your home vs. away schedule (pats looks a little easier than buffalo's), when your bye falls, where your away games fall,  how many short weeks you have, and cross-country travel. The cheatriots usually get babied when it comes to rest and short weeks, and the Bills usually get screwed. We'll see how this year goes.

They have 6 games against the Bills, Fins and Jets. Of course their schedule looks easy.

On the Bright Side / Silver lining 

 

The Bills Schedule has to be pretty easy too.  

 

Take away the obvious 

 

Bills

Home: Ravens, Bengals, Broncos, Eagles, Redskins
Away: Browns, Steelers, Titans, Cowboys, Giants

 

Patriots

Home: Browns, Steelers, Chiefs, Cowboys, Giants
Away: Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Redskins

well...aren't the schedules fairly similar?  ours can't possibly be as bad as last year...( 5 of first 7 on the road against top teams ) and this year we face

the afcn and nfce.....with the titans being the oddball game.  i fully expect at least 10-6.

 

i think we can finally get off the losing side of balt. and cincy.  a lot of these teams all have some sort of transitional issues be it qb / coach / loss of key players etc.

....and for once i'm glad it's not the bills.

Of course the Patriots have an easy schedule this year...unlike us, they don't have to play the Patriots twice a year ?

 

As others have said, when you play bottom feeding teams 6 times a year, it's a lot easier to make the playoffs. Nothing the schedule can do to change that aspect.

It's like a while back looking at the AFC South. The Jags, Texans & Titans were all terrible, so of course the Colts were going to make the playoffs year after year. Only now the AFC East is even worse, and the team at the top is even more dominant.

I really like our games for 2019. I know a lot can change between now and September but I can see a couple of routes to double digit wins. Will be interested to see how the schedule comes out.

Never understood the outrage on this stuff. They play a divisional that collectively sucks yearly and rarely fields a 9 or 10 win team. They per schedule rules have to play the other division winners so they do play the top 3 teams in the AFC from the previous year. Otherwise the Pats do not control how the divisions rotate with who they play yearly its pre determined years in advance.

 

Buffalo also has a very weak schedule due to their divisional foes and the fact we play the NFC East who wasn't very good last year and the AFC North who has one team ascending in CLE two middling in PIT/BAL and one cratering in CIN.
