The 2021-22 NFL regular season schedule was released on Wednesday night which led fans and experts across the league to share their thoughts on how things could play out.
One of the most important things to factor into predictions is strength of schedule, and some fans will not be happy to learn their teams face the toughest road ahead.
Strength of schedule is calculated by averaging the win totals of opponents from the previous season.
This season, the hardest schedule in the league belongs to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The second-hardest schedule belongs to the division rival Baltimore Ravens.
On the flipside, the Philadelphia Eagles have the easiest schedule in the league on paper. Just ahead of them is the Dallas Cowboys, so get ready for Cowboys mania in the media if the Cowboys start reeling off wins early.
