The NFL’s Most Difficult Strength of Schedule for 2024 Revealed
The Cleveland Browns are gearing up to face the NFL’s most difficult strength of schedule in the upcoming 2024 season. This news comes as the Browns haven’t made back-to-back playoff appearances in 35 years, making their tough schedule even more daunting.
Cleveland will have to navigate through 12 games against teams that finished with a winning record last season, posing a significant challenge for the team. The Baltimore Ravens are also facing a tough schedule as the second-toughest in the league.
On the flip side, the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints have the easiest strength of schedule, giving them a slight advantage heading into the season. Teams playing a “first-place” schedule will face five first-place teams due to the addition of the 17th game, adding another layer of difficulty to the matchups.
The Chicago Bears have the easiest schedule among last-place teams, while the Los Angeles Chargers have the easiest strength of schedule in the AFC. The Bengals have a unique advantage in their schedule with matchups that differ from their division rivals.
