Strength of Schedule

We are pretty low on the scale - even though we play 5 division winners

[Gregg]

I am surprised since the home schedule is pretty tough. Good news is the road schedule isn't. If the Bills can go undefeated at home for a 2nd year in a row they will have earned it. Some really tough games at Highmark.

Thus was already known when the season ended and we knew thr opponents were.

completely meaningless at this point

AFC east (6 games) and NFC South (4 games) are probably the two weakest divisions last year.  If we played AFC South the only concerning games would be the other division winners.

Every year teams that are supposed to be good aren’t and vice versa.

If we go undefeated at home, we just might go undefeated….period.

So, I guess we can't talk about it now.

These are deceiving because in the next season the teams strengths will be different so basing it of previous season is always just a guess

There will be some nail biting Thriller's at home. If the season goes as planned it will be a pretty epic way to send off the Old Stadium and Usher in the new

I would like to know how the strength of schedule was in the preseason vs where it was when the season ended, last year.

Testament to our divisional foes being a hot mess most seasons 

[GunnerBill]

I do think this is a better schedule than the last two. All our toughest games are at home and while we might lose 1 or 2 of them no way the Josh Allen / Sean McDermott Buffalo Bills are dropping 4 home games. 

 

Honestly.... 14-3 and the #1 seed is in play IMO.

If KC goes 6-3 or better in their first 9 games, they will lock #1 seed again.   The second half of their season is way easier than the first half.

If you look closely you’ll see that the Divisions are all grouped together. Playing those six games against each other influences the strength of schedule more than where you finish.
