The NFL will officially release the 2021 regular season schedule tonight. Most of the games will be leaked earlier [follow along on the MySportsUpdate Twitter for that].
Each team’s strength of schedule for 2021 is based on opponents’ win percentage in 2020. The Steelers will have the “toughest” schedule in 2020. They have ten matchups against teams that made the playoffs last year – including the Bills and Buccaneers. The Packers are the only other team with 10 games against payoff teams last season. The Eagles technically have the “easiest” schedule for 2021 in terms of opponents’ 2020 win percentage. They only play three games against teams that finished above .500 last season (Buccaneers, Chiefs and Saints). Of course, two of those teams made the Super Bowl. Below is the full list:
From toughest to easiest:
- Steelers (.574)
