In the meantime with next year's schedule released I've been seeing reports the Patriots have the 2nd easiest schedule although many other teams share a similar ranking including the Rams. Redskin have the easiest. The Raiders have the hardest. The rankings were based off the win-loss of opponents to be faced in the next season from the record they had this season. So it makes sense the Raiders have the hardest schedule due to the Chargers and the Chiefs have double digit victories last season.
