What will be interesting is to see how Carolina does. I think they had the easiest, or among the easiest SOS last season. According to your chart they have the second hardest this season. Plus I think that division will be a lot tougher overall too with Winston entering his second year in TB and Brees in a contract year in NO. I expect a bit of bounce back for Atlanta as well. I think Carolina wins that division by a game or two, but they won't sniff 15 wins again this year.

I think its the other way around. I think they have the 2nd easiest going into next season as Vegas probably isnt too high on ATL, NO or TB.

Seattle schedule breaks really well for them:

Miami at home which is as easy as Seattle could hope
at LA which probably doesn't have the time zone issue
Niners at home
at Jets which is moderately tough but not a world beater game
Bye
Falcons at home which is usually a ton better than Matt Ryan in ATL

they get Philly at home in the middle of the season when the QB situation is likely up in the air for them

then its an expected brutal schedule but last 3 weeks are:

Rams who might be out of contention
Cardinals who might have players hurt at this juncture
at Niners who will almost undoubtedly be out of contention

I think that right there is probably 7-2 for Seattle. Not hard to carve out 10 wins even with the worst oline in the league with that schedule unless somethings happens to Wilson or the secondary.

LOL @ the New England Patriots' brutal schedule.

Seems like all the less competitive teams have the harder schedules for the most part.

I agree. They have a chance to build up a nice win total in the first half. It would have been nice to play the Patriots while Brady was out but oh well.

Barring significant injuries I would be surprised if this team wins fewer than 10 and probably 11 or 12.

Only two morning games for the Seahawks this season!

Order dem rings!

That's to be expected. Although it is surprising to see the discrepancy between the Niners and Seahawks.
