NFC South teams all in the bottom ten. Should be fun.

Bucs get to play the Falcons and Panthers twice that helps make their schedule look easier.

Preseason SOS rankings are like draft grades before a down of football has been played. They're very likely to be very flawed.

We play the NFC East.

NFCE have 25, 31, and 32, and they will still find a way to all be sub .500 again.

they also play the 1st place schedule, bucs were 2nd place in the division

I bet the Saints miss the playoffs and struggle to a 8-9 record.

...which automatically weakens any strength of schedule.

Remember when that division was a powerhouse?

[Moo Daeng]

Because the schedule is base on a preset rotation and not winning the Super Bowl. They didn't win the division either.
