Saints Have 2nd Easiest Schedule

ScottF · 11-16-2009, 02:41 PM

Strength of schedule is calculated incorrectly by the league. A team with a good record will always have an "easier" schedule.

The Saints are 9-0, so say our opponents' records are then 36-45.
If we were 1-8, our opponents' record would be 44-37, and be considered a tough schedule.

this is exactly right.....our opponents records are very indicative of how we play......there are easier ways to tell how tough our schedule is

watch the games

I like this logic.
