Let's take a closer look. Hey, hey, hey. Oh, no. Good morning football.

Let's take a closer look at the 2026 strength of schedule for all of the NFL teams.

And I think there's a couple things that stand out here.

Take out the bag of fine glass.

The Browns at the bottom.

Easiest strength of schedule.

Seahogs, your Super Bowl champs, clocking in at number 14.

And then it's the Bears all the way at the top with the hardest strength of schedule.

So I'm looking at some of these numbers here.

Are you guys buying the strength of schedule actually matters?

Mantae.

That list is a bunch of crap.

That stuff don't matter. It's like this, this,

this Kleenex right now, right here is way more useful than that list. Why? Because that,

that list is number one is based off of last year, okay? And the NFL, the jump from one year to

the next is huge. These, these teams, the teams that were good doesn't mean that they'll be good this year. The teams that were bad last year doesn't mean that they'll be good this year. It's there's so many different aspects to the strength of schedule that when you look at it, you're like, this really doesn't mean anything. Number two, this is a national football league. This isn't college football. You don't get style points as to how you beat somebody. It's either you win or you lose. If you do it or you don't. That's what it comes down to. You either make it to the playoffs. You're either the top seven in that division or you're not. And that is what I love about the national football league. They don't care about who you play because everybody is good and everybody can be beat on any given Sunday. So Willie, I don't know how you feel about it as a former player, but every time I looked at the strength of schedule, I was like, that's just a bunch of crap, flip the page, just get on to whoever I got to play that week and let's get on and crack it. Yeah, I agree. I actually went back, man, Ty, and looked at my strength of schedule the year I won the Super Bowl in 2008.

And we had the seventh hardest schedule in 2008.

The six teams with hardest schedules all picked in the top ten of the draft while we won the

Super Bowl.
