Judging by the draft, we were 22nd with the most difficult SOS last year so why so much further down. These are always a bit funny when done before FA and draft.
Just for kicks, Vegas odds has the Bears as tied for the 7th spot in the NFC behind the Vikings. 1 spot outside the wild card is very familiar territory for us and had Stigmata not hit our WR core, who knows. We had the hardest schedule in 2015 and will have a much easier one next yr
