New England Patriots have 12th hardest schedule in 2013 | masslive.com

Road schedule looks particularly brutal. Tough guantlet.

it looks a lot harder than 12th with those teams we gotta play..but that's just me. And what do you know..broncos have the easiest!

Broncos, Peyton another year older. I would have rather played them again as opposed to the ravens in the AFCCG last year, I expect a Win

The steelers are old and about to lose a ton of talent on defense Another expected Win

The saints will be a tough game, could go either way with Payton back at coach

Dolphins, Thats a win

The bucs are getting better, but our offensive speed will outmatch there defense. thats a win

The jets, A win

Bills, another new coach? that's a win

Browns new coaching, possibly scrapping there 2nd year 28 year old QB with no offensive weapons. That's a win

At home i see us going 7-1

Falcons is going to be a huge test for the defense, i see a loss here

The texans, If it isnt broke dont fix it, a Win

The ravens if they lose all the people i think they are going to lose are going to be a much easier team to face next year, Win

The bengals scare me a bit, I think their defense can cause some problems, and if their offense clicks they could put up enough points, Loss

Dolphins, bills, jets, All wins

Panthers will be an interesting matchup, but i think its a sleeper loss.

Away games 5-3

Overall record 12-4 AFC champs and the 3rd seed.

To be the best, you've got to beat the best! GO Pats!

Nunchucks

Strength of schedule is a BS ranking, especially at this time of year.

The only home game that worries me is the Saints game. 7-1 seems almost as if it should be the over/under.

On the road, the Patriots match up well against the Falcons, who are a bit soft, and the Texans, although they'll be out for blood. The worry game there is the Ravens. 6-2 Seems like the over/under here.

So, taking a quick look at the schedule right now, I'd be looking at 13-3 as the over/under. Obviously, this can change over the course of the offseason.

Since the Pats finished higher than 12th overall. I think that's pretty fair. And honestly strength of schedule is overrated this early. Why? Teams fortunes swing all the time. In today's NFL a team can get signficantly better or worse within a season's time. This schedule could be easier than predicted or harder than predicted.

Every year people bring up the schedule and how easy or hard it will be and it never looks remotely the same in January as it did in September.

Remember that easy schedule we were supposed to have last year? The NFL is year to year with a few teams being the exceptions. We haven't even hit FA yet.

Coming off a Super Bowl appearance we technically had the easiest schedule last year (going off this measurement).

This year we are essentially the middle of the pack.

That doesn't really warrant much for us to complain about.
