The NFL is already hyping up a few things to look forward to this season. It should be a fun season given that this is going to be the “biggest” season ever.
Strength of Schedule
The percentages represent combined opponent win percentage from the 2020 season.
5 TOUGHEST SCHEDULES:
- Pittsburgh Steelers: 57%
- Baltimore Ravens: 56%
- Chicago Bears: 55%
- Green Bay Packers: 54%
- Minnesota Vikings: 53%
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers got the short end of the stick in regards to fallout from the new 17 game schedule. The Steelers and Packers are the only two teams set to have 10 games against playoff teams from last season.
5 EASIEST SCHEDULES
- Philadelphia Eagles: 43%
- Dallas Cowboys: 45%
- Atlanta Falcons: 45%
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 47%
- Miami Dolphins: 47%
The Philadelphia Eagles definitely have the easiest road ahead based on strength of schedule. The Eagles will only play 5 games against playoff teams from last season, and only play 3 games against teams that finished above .500 last season. The latter is mostly due to the dumpster fire that was the NFC East last season.
*Post will be updated with reaction following full schedule release.
