SoS can be viewed a lot of ways - Just like any stat you can make of it what you will.

Re: Strength of Schedule..Saints 27th
 

I look at it like this...

Do the "weak" teams on your schedule look improved over 2009?

Do the strong teams look any weaker than 2009?

To recap...

Teams that improved significantly so far (on paper)
Cleveland (we should still win)
Baltimore (our toughest game)

Teams that got worse so far (on paper)
Arizona
Carolina

All the other team have done nothing of significance to sway one way or the other, so it looks like (on paper) our 2010 schedule does look to be pretty weak.


Saints should be heavy fav's against 8 teams...
Cleveland
Tampa (twice)
Carolina (twice, although some would argue losing Delhomme is an upgrade)
St Louis
Seattle
Arizona


The Saints should be slight favs against 5 more
San Fran (they will be tough)
Cincy
Pittsburgh (in the dome)
Mnnesota (in the dome)
Atlanta (in the dome)

The Sainst are probably pick-ems or even slight underdogs against 3 more
@Dallas (in their house)
@Atlanta (gawd I hate saying that)
@Baltimore

So if the spreads basically hold true, meaning we lose a couple we shouldn't and win a couple we shouldn't, we should finish around 12-4, 13-3

HFA once again my friends.....

This is one strength of schedule that looks pretty accurate, barring major injuries of course.
