Methodology: Strength of Schedule is the average 2025 regular season win percentage of a team's 17 opponents on the 2026 schedule. Ties count as half a win. Home SOS averages only the opponents visiting that team; Away SOS averages only the opponents the team travels to face. Toughest and easiest 4-week stretches are rolling averages of opponent win percentage. This is the same projected-SOS methodology used by NFL.com, CBS Sports, Yahoo Sports and FOX Sports.
