Projecting any team’s future outcome based on strength of schedule is a dicey proposition. Every season, we see teams go from first to worst, and vice versa. So, the ability to codify this based on opponent strength that may or may not apply? Questionable.
But the 2022 schedule does give us some clues which we probably already knew. When looking at the 2022 strength of schedule for all NFL teams, it’s abundantly clear that the AFC West and NFC West are loaded. Add in the fact that those two divisions face off in 2022, and you have some very tough stretches for those teams.
On the offset, we have relatively unspectacular divisions giving their teams some supposedly easy stretches. Will we see a team or two rise from the muck to make these numbers kind of irrelevant? It’s entirely possible.
But here are the strengths of schedule, such as they are, for every NFL team in 2022.
