Re: The Fallacy of Strength of Schedule
Schneed is 100% right here, but I'm sure he already knows that.
Where the difference in schedule between division oponents really matters is the timing of games. For example, the Eagles play 3 road divisional games in consecutive weeks. This is really, really infavorable. It's good to have your road divisional games spread out with at least 2 weeks in between. Thats an advantage.
Strength of Schedule is a misleading stat.
