2021 NFL strength of schedule ranking for all 32 teams heading into the NFL's inaugural 17-game season

Here are the strength of schedule rankings for all 32 teams heading into the 2021 season

After 42 years of playing a 16-game schedule, the NFL is expanding to 17 games this year and if there's any team that's now regretting their vote for the expanded season, it's probably the Pittsburgh Steelers, and that's because they're slated to face the league's most difficult strength of schedule in 2021.  1 Steelers 155-115-2 .574 2 Ravens 152-118-2 .563 3 Bears 149-122-1 .550 4 Packers 147-124-1 .542 5 Vikings 144-127-1 .531 T-6 Bengals 144-128 .529 T-6 Lions 143-127-2 .529 8 Raiders 142-128-2 .526 9 Browns 140-130-2 .518 10 Rams     140-132 .515 T-11 Chiefs 138-132-2 .511 T-11 Seahawks 139-133 .511 T-13 Titans 138-134       .507 T-13 Cardinals 138-134 .507 T-15 Washington 136-134-2 .504 T-15 Texans 137-135 .504 17 Chargers 133-137-2 .493 18 Jaguars 133-138-1 .491 T-19 49ers 132-138-2 .489 T-19 Jets 132-138-2 .489 T-19 Patriots 133-139 .489 22 Saints 131-140-1 .483 T-23 Bills 130-142 .478 T-23 Colts 130-142 .478 25 Giants 128-142-2 .474 26 Panthers 128-143-1 .472 T-27 Broncos 127-143-2 .471 T-27 Dolphins 128-144 .471 29 Buccaneers 126-145-1 .465 30 Falcons 123-148-1 .454 31    Cowboys 122-148-2 .452 32 Eagles 117-155 .430 Based on the final standings from 2020, the Steelers will be going into 2021 with a strength of schedule of .574, which not only gives them the most difficult schedule for the upcoming season, but it makes them one of only two teams in the NFL -- along with the Ravens -- that will have a strength of schedule above .550.  The Steelers better get their offensive line situation figured out quickly, because they'll be facing a brutal schedule that will include 10 games against playoff teams from last season. Of those 10 games, three will come against teams that played in either the AFC or NFC Championship games last year as the Steelers will be playing the Chiefs, Bills and Packers.
