Great News for next year (schedule)

[adam]

For the first time in a long time, the NFC North gets a decent break, playing two of the weaker divisions in the league. We draw the AFC South and NFC East, which are the two divisions with a potential 8-8 Division Winner.

 

With this info, we need to be all in for next year, as I don't know when we will get this type of opportunity again. It also figures that we could have up to 3 NFC North teams in the playoffs next year.

 

Here is what the schedule looks like today:

 

Home:

Detroit 7-9

Green Bay 10-4

Minnesota 9-5

Philadelphia 7-9

Washington 9-7

Jacksonville 5-11

Tennessee 3-13

San Francisco 5-11

 

Away

Detroit 7-9

Green Bay 10-5

Minnesota 10-5

Dallas 4-12

NY Giants 6-10

Houston 9-7

Indianapolis 8-8

Tampa Bay 6-10

 

The projected SoS is .451, compared to the .540 we had this year. To put into perspective, a .451 would be the 3rd easiest SoS this year (only behind CAR and NYJ). So for once, I feel like the schedule is finally in our favor. The two toughest teams we will face next year (based on record) will be GB and MIN, which to me is a great draw.

 

What do you think? I see 10 wins.
