My favorite teams
Chicago provided 6 of the victories for their NFC north opponents... LA went 4-2 in the division and they handed SF one of those 2 by sitting the starters week 17.
Strength of schedule is a good tiebreaker between 2 teams with the same record... but when one team has a significantly larger amount of wins than the other...the ineptitude of the lesser team kind of throws the comparison off.
To illustrate the tiny difference between 4th ranked s.o.s. going in to 2018 vs. the 12th ranked...
The 4th highest strength of schedule going in to 2018 is the Raiders- average record of the teams they face... 9.03-6.97
The 12th highest is new england.... 8.43-6.57.
Not that big of a difference.
What the hell are you even talking about? I am not talking about strength of schedule based on before the season began. I specifically stated the strength of schedule based on results of the 2017 season...we played the 4th hardest schedule and the Rams played the 12th toughest schedule. If you can't understand the purpose of stating this when people are trying to make a comparison with the Rams' season leading to the playoffs...then I don't know what to tell you.
