Meaningless statistic at this point. True SOS cannot be determined before the season.

[EMSMedic79]

Agreed. But interesting none the less.

Better than last year... At least there's 9 teams In front of us.

I agree though, kind of meaningless.

People that have us on their schedule will have a "weaker" power of schedule because we only went 6-10 last year, when in reality we'll be much better this year "knock on wood"

I've always thought this was kind of silly tbh. I read this article first thing this am, and was like... Meh

Panthers schedule ended up middle of the league pretty much...that's why it's meaningless

[chknwing]

its the offseason, everything is meaningful.

How in the hell did the Patriots end up with the weakest schedule? .453 opposing winning %

[Argus Plexus]

Isn't that funny? The best teams end up with the easiest schedules. Making sense ftw.

Cleveland #3, lol

I'm convinced that Robert Kraft is blowing Roger. His teams always get the "favorable" calls, every game I watch The Pats are obviously favored by the refs. Had it not been for Welkers drop... The Pats would have won that game too.

Bottom line is I think that there is something behind the scenes going on with the Pats' organization, and the NFL; any other fan of any other team (except for Pats fans) always agree with me.

Pats are a high-profit team, of course they'd hold the league's favor

last season before the year started we had the hardest SOS, after all said and done we were right about average

10th doesn't sound too hard TBH, especially with the saints in such dissaray and falcons without a 1st rounder as well. SOS shouldn't be too much to overcome.

Toughest in the division again...

at least we are not ranked #1 again.

Your post is actually innacurate. The Saints have the "toughest schedule" (if you believe in such a thing) because they won the division. It puts them with other division winners in head to head matchups.

According to that list (even though they never seem to be accurate at the end of the year), we have the toughest schedule in the division.

We didnt win the division the year before we got the #1 ranking.
