Strength of Schedule: OH NOES

Recommended Posts

So you think your team has it made? Think twice if you're banking on an easy schedule being the reason. Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers had the toughest schedule going into the season and they won Super Bowl XLIII. In fact, four of the teams with the five toughest schedules finished with 10 or more victories. Those with the easiest? Four of the bottom five didn't make the playoffs. Only the San Diego Chargers (8-8 in the regular season) qualified for the post-season. Below is a sample of the strength of schedules heading into this season:

The reason why teams have the toughest strength of schedule one year, is because they were one of the best teams the previous year. Ergo, it's no shock that they are still good the next year. Same goes for the ones with the easiest schedule - they sucked the previous year, so no shock if they suck again.

Really only 2 games are decided by the previous years record
