Looks harder to me.

I am glad the Pats can play Seahawks here though, out there would be real tough.

This year's schedule was the hardest one they've had in quite some time.

For once, I don't think you're trolling. I saw that and said '5-12', as it stands right now.

starting 2023, the Pats opponents had a combined record of 156-128-3, a .549 win %... third toughest schedule in the league...

Going into 2024, the opponents win % is .512 ... which is the 10th hardest schedule

so based on s.o.s., a slightly easier schedule.

Really weird that the Phins get a much easier schedule than the Patriots. And we have an extra away game next year even though we didn't have one this year.

Germany was an away game. A very away game.

Weird because the Patriots strength of schedule is above .500 despite playing two games against AFC division bottom dwellers like themselves. In the Brady era, those two AFC games would be against division champions. Miami's schedule is easier because they play two games against a team with a 4-13 record and we play two games against a team with a 11-6 record.

Good point.

If you remove those two records, Dolphins are at .505 and the Patriots are at .496. So Dolphins jump up to tie with the Jets at 18th easiest and the Patriots drop to a tie with Broncos at 13th.
