It’s another NFL season, and football fans have no doubt been looking into the NFL strength of schedule rankings of their favorite teams and hoping their teams land the easiest fixtures for the 2020 season.
Yet even with the records of the previous year, it is still very difficult to get the teams who will be having an easy schedule and the ones with the toughest schedule.
Why?
Because the off-season is surrounded by lots of uncertainties like which free agents get released or snapped up by which teams and which promising rookie players get drafted into which teams.
There’s also the fact that those teams who may not have had a great season last year might be trying as hard as they can to get better and might just end up having a great run this year.
However, even with all the uncertainties surrounding matters like the strength of schedules, using the results of 2019 is still the best way to go.
NFL Strength Of Schedule: Team With The Toughest Schedule
New England Patriots
As far as the NFL SOS goes, the Patriots did end up with the short end of the stick.
They face teams who won at least 10 matches in 2019. The toughest opponents being Super Bowl LIV champions, Kansas City Chiefs, along with last season’s first-place teams, Houston Texans and Baltimore.

NFL Strength Of Schedule: Team With The Easiest Schedule
Baltimore Ravens
Based on their various performances in 2019, the Baltimore Ravens just might find their journey to the playoffs like a walk in the park.
With only three teams with more than 9 wins in 2019 and a .462 opponent win percentage, the Ravens would be counting themselves lucky.
They have landed the likes of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Cleveland Browns, all of which had terrible seasons with some of the worst win records in 2019.
Yet it is most likely that the likes of the Bengals would be looking to put a bad season behind them and get back to winning ways.
Besides they also have to face last season’s Super Bowl Champions so as easy as their schedule may seem, the Ravens might just have their work cut out for them.

NFL Strength Of Schedule: 2020 NFL Schedule For Every Team
At the close of the 2019 season, the NFL schedule for 2020 was arranged by the NFL using the formula below:
Every team plays home and away matches against other members of its division;
Followed by four other teams in a different division of the same conference on a three-year rotating cycle;
Then four teams from a division in the other conference on a four-year rotating cycle;
Then come two teams of the same conference usually picked based on last season’s performance.
