Updated strength of schedule


Larz

Recommended Posts

Last year the strength of schedule said that the first 9 games were murder and they went 6-3 so take it with the appropriate grain of salt 

Jets are 25th  (that’s tough)

NFL teams with the easiest schedules in 2023:

Atlanta Falcons

New Orleans Saints

Indianapolis Colts

San Francisco 49ers

Carolina Panthers

 

NFL teams with the hardest schedules in 2023:

New England Patriots

Las Vegas Raiders

Miami Dolphins

Los Angeles Chargers

Kansas City Chiefs

 

its interesting, according to this analysis the jets schedule is barely tougher than last year 

 

Strength of schedule got harder:

Buccaneers -8 spots to #23

Jaguars -7 to #15

Lions -4 to #18

Texans -4 to #9

Titans -4 to #13

Bengals -2 to #21

Browns -2 to #19

Saints -1 to #2

Panthers -1 to #5

Ravens -1 to #17

Jets -1 to #25

Vikings -1 to #27

Chargers -1 to #29

I’d also like to take the opportunity to remind myself that the jets have the best rest advantage in the league  (tied with bears)

So on balance, the jets schedule is easier this year than it was last year   👍

But also the jets have the easiest rest schedule, the least flight miles, and the most home games (10 if you include the giant away game) of all the teams... 

Studies also done by Warren sharp... 

He has a study that proves that teams that have the best rest days are the best teams to bet on to make a huge jump in win totals. 

Look it up it's his study

Stats can be deceiving, can also be manipulated to prove or disprove your arguments based on what you want

Found the study for you Jets have the best +12 net rest and 49ers are - 20. So 49ers are bet against win total

Preseason strength of schedule seems to end up being really off most of the time 

There are always exceptions and outliers but according to sharp;

 

Are Strength of Schedule projections accurate? 

Short answer: YES

of the 7 teams that actually had the easiest 2022 schedules, 6 went to the playoffs (Eagles, 49ers, Jaguars, Cowboys, Chargers, Chiefs)

of the 7 teams that actually had the hardest 2022 schedules, 2 went to the playoffs (Dolphins, Bengals)

of the 11 teams that actually had thehardest 2022 schedules, only 3 went over their win total (Bengals, Steelers, Jets)

Trying to exceed and overachieve against a brutal schedule rarely happens (2 out of top 7 in 2022) and likewise, winning against an easy schedule and overachieving compared to expectation was quite regular (only 1 out of top 7 did not).

Did these teams make the playoffs because they had an easy strength of schedule or because the were really good?

Who were the 5 teams that had difficulty sos and didn't make playoffs? We're they just bad teams?

Are these really good metrics to measure the accuracy of preseason sos? Can't we just compare sos before the season to after and see how much it changed?

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.  What happened last season has little to no bearing on what happens this season.  Only a few nfl organizations are capable of putting consistently good teams on the field year in and year out.  And even Buffalo, for all of their recent success isn’t the juggernaut that many claim. They have a qb who is difficult to defend against. Other than that they are pretty ordinary.

Preseason had nothing to do with it. They used expected win totals for 2023. So not last year’s results either. It is not an exact science, but 6/7 vs 2/7 last year using the same method is pretty compelling

It wasn’t based on last year’s results

Since I hate the Dolphins more than any other sports franchise (yes even more than the Red Sox) it would be glorious to watch those old Dolphin cheater bastards sh*t their pants in the SB luxury box if we go 20-0. My only regret would be that Don (the original Cheater) Shula would not be here to see it

They don’t release too many in November 🤷‍♂️

The point is the sos they release before the season is a projection. You can calculate the actual sos after the season and compare to the projection from before the season. This is the only comparison we need. It's math. Black and white.

Instead you're giving metrics that don't seem to measure sos very well. They just show us that good teams made the playoffs and bad teams didn't. Wow.

Honestly,I can’t see how last years results impact this year’s supposed strength of schedule.  Every season has a number of teams that start with tons of hope but then fall flat.  The bills have been notorious for starting out hot and then fading when the games really count. ( not so much with the teams under McDermott ).  Only a small number of teams have that attitude to keep winning year after year. And look at how the jets started out last season. No telling how things would’ve gone had avt and/ hall hadn’t missed the second half.
