The 5 Easiest & 5 Hardest Schedules For The Upcoming 2022 NFL Season​

We are at that time of the year where experts are ranking the upcoming 2022 NFL season.

With Las Vegas setting the official win total projections for the 2022 NFL season, we now have the toughest and easiest schedule rankings for the upcoming year.

Based on projected win totals, the Washington Commodes have the easiest strength of schedule for the 2022 NFL season. The next easiest schedules are the Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles, Indianapolis Colts, and Seattle Seahawks.

On the flip side, the Kansas City Chiefs have the hardest schedule in the entire league. They are followed by the New York Jets, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, and Las Vegas Raiders.

Last season, the Commodes played the toughest schedule in the NFL and now they get the easiest. The team went 2-7 against playoff teams, but 5-3 against non-playoff teams.

After trading for QN Carson Wentz this offseason, the Commodes could actually make a run for the postseason despite all the controversy the team has to deal with off the field regarding their owner.

The Kansas City Chiefs took a huge blow to their offense when they traded Tyreek Hill, but nobody should feel sorry for them having the hardest schedule, especially when you have Patrick Mahomes behind center.

It's understandable the first place teams from the two toughest divisions have hard schedules. But the Jets with a 4th place schedule? They must play the AFC West. Or it's just the Jets, lol.

Any Jet head coach looks like a chump. That franchise is a joke. Funny, the two worst records the NFL the last 5 years are identical. The Giants and Jets are both 22-59.......and the immediate future doesn't look too bright. Man, so glad we climbed out of that cesspool.

So the 4th place schedule thing is funny. It gets thrown around a lot.

But if you think about it, divisional opponents just have three games different each season.

So for the Bills, they have to play three first place teams but get to play the Jets twice.

The Jets get three last place teams but have to play the Bills twice. And one of those last place teams is the Broncos who aren't your run of the mill 4th place team.

So all things considered, I'd say the Jets have a harder schedule than the Bills.

Makes all the sense in the world.

The Rams should have 5 or 6 wins before the games start. They play the rebuilding Seahawks twice, rebuilding Atlanta, Carolina and Arizona (1 or 2 wins there). They just have to hold serve with the AFC West, Buffalo, Green Bay, Dallas, Tampa and SF. And those are tough games, but they're tough games for the opposition because they're playing the Rams. 13-4, 14-3 this season. Run it back.

I think the main thing for the Rams is to not be a wild card. Having to play all your playoff games on the road makes it very tough to advance to the super bowl. It can be done but it's very rare because in my opinion, the travel eventually wears you down.

The NFC West should be easier.

Seattle would have to strike lightening in a bottle to get better QB play than Wilson.

SF is likely starting a rookie.

AZ should be good again, if they don’t have a meltdown with Murray.

I think that winning 16 games is a possibility for us this year if we sign Gilmore.

Have any of Tom Brady's teams ever been in that pinkish/reddish area at any point during the last 22 years?

I'm sure there have been times when his team has has been in the top 16 of S.O.S., but not all that often. Of course the strength of the upcoming schedule is different from the S.O.S. at the end of the season. Sometimes a weak schedule is weaker and vice versa.

Rams faced the 10th hardest schedule entering last season.. and.. if they hadn't have lost their way for a few games.. could've easily had the best record in the NFC.

Also.. on paper.. versus what happens during the season.. injuries, etc.
