Its going to be a tougher schedule. You won’t know really how tough the schedule is until about 6 weeks in but that can always change. Teams surprise, teams disappoint, injuries happen, teams get hot, teams collapse.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days you can get 6-8 games in a row against pitiful opponents, this tends to help optimism and playoff viability 8 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said: You won’t know really how tough the schedule is until about 6 weeks in but that can always change.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) I try to view strength of schedule until about mid-season but last year it was easy to see that was going to be an easy schedule. Basically what I do is look at the QB's. Next year there aren't many games against weak QB's. Injuries will obviously change things.

Jrb1979 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I know most of you want to dismiss strength of schedule but next season the odds of playing 8 teams .500 or worse is not likely to happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djp14150 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 14 hours ago, gobills404 said: I thought that too but then I realized it's because they're the only team in their division that doesn't have to play the 14-2 Ravens twice. If you look look at the sorting and see AFC north are close to the top and AFC east are close to the bottom afc east play nfc west which has the most total wins. AFC north places the nfc east which has the least to total wins. in conference it’s east-west and north-south. South and west have about the same total wins. when you factor in divisional opponents the ravens have the weakest divisional opponents wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Bills and AFCE projected to get a bit a karma next season. It always does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 3 hours ago, TigerJ said: The fact that the Ravens have the easiest schedule in their division and the Bengals have the toughest schedule in the division is the fact that the Ravens get to play the Bengals twice while the Bengals have to play the Ravens twice. The fact that teams within a division tend to be bunched up in a SOS list is due to the high number of common opponents they share. makes sense. I thought the tried to skew the rest of the schedule, but I get it. Certainly not how parity works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the odds of that are pretty strong. Its a parity league with salary cap and all. 500 is the center point of the league believe it or not.

Their best win was the .500 Dallas Cowboys in Dallas. Outside of that they beat absolutely no one unless you consider the Mariota lead Titans a good team. The Mariota titans were a 500 team coming into buffalo. And the 2018 schedule was just as easy. We just didn't beat as many of the easy teams that year.

ngbills Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Another way to look at - Bills have easiest schedule next year. No excuses, win the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
