People shouldn't put too much stock in those strength of schedule stats. Teams that win a lot will automatically move closer to the bottom, because handing out a loss to another team means that their schedule got easier due to that other team now having a worse record than before. Essentially, teams get punished for winning games.

The same thing applies vice versa, so you can't really say that the teams who lost a lot of games did so because they faced such good opponents, because there's also the possibility that such loser teams are plain and simply bad. In other words, they would lose a lot of games regardless of their schedule.

I don't consider these strength of schedule rankings useful at all.


I think you are butthurt because your team has an easy schedule every year. Lions suck. Vikings suck and the bears suck almost every year.
