Though your team may have the toughest schedule entering a season, it does not mean your team will actually have the toughest schedule. In fact, since 2002, the team with the toughest schedule based on previous season results has never had the toughest schedule at the end of the season (though the 2004 Dolphins had the second-toughest). On the flip side, the 2002 Bills entered the season tied with the Chargers for the toughest schedule, but wound up with the third-easiest schedule in the NFL.
