Curious.

 

The AFC has the 8 of the 10 toughest schedules, but it also has 8 of the 10 easiest schedules.

Predetermined divions to play against for 14 of the 16 teams. The rotation has AFC teams against a tough AFC division and tough NFC division or an easier one of both this year.

Yep. Just odd the way it worked out.

Does SoS really matter anymore? I mean, teams change so much from year to year, you cant really bank on them being really bad just because they were the year before. Yeah some teams just always suck, but I dont believe SoS is anything to judge how hard a teams schedule will REALLY be.

That isn't completely true. The Bills always suck.

That really suprises me. The Vikings schedule looks kind of soft...

 

And Sieferts take on it too...no cold weather games this year...

 

SEIFERT TAKE: The first thing that jumps out about this schedule is the lack of cold-weather games. The way things shape up, there are only two possibilities for cold/snow/general muck: Oct. 19 at Chicago (and that’s stretching it) and Nov. 23 at Jacksonville. (For those interested, Jacksonville’s average high on Nov. 23 is 70 degrees. The average low, according to weather.com, is 54.) Otherwise, the Vikings play inside Detroit’s Ford Field on Dec. 7 and at Arizona on Dec. 14.

 

This advantageous arrangement should not be taken lightly. As you might recall, the Vikings haven’t won a December game that had a kickoff temperature of less than 50 degrees since Dec. 26, 1999. Overall, the Vikings have lost 14 of their past 16 outdoor December games.

I always debate on whether to include it (or to what degree) with player rankings. Seems like some completely ignore SoS and some include it (or at least include it for the playoff weeks). I guess I ignore it more often than not, but I don't know whether that is smart FF or just being too lazy to include one extra thing into player projections. :wacko:

That's not all that honest because they did win a January game at Lambeau in 05. It was 29 that day.
