METHODOLOGY
Strength of schedule is computed as the average net EPA per play (offensive minus defensive) of each team's upcoming opponents, using 2026 season data. Only games that have not yet been scored are counted. A higher positive opponent EPA means a tougher remaining slate (rank 1). Green bars indicate a soft remaining schedule; red bars indicate a brutal one.
