2023 NFL strength of schedule for all 32 teams: Eagles, Cowboys and Dolphins have it the toughest
CBSN
Here's how the strength of schedule ranking breaks down for all 32 teams heading into the 2023 season
If the Eagles are going to win the NFC East for the second straight season and get back to the Super Bowl, it's not going to be easy and that's because they'll be facing the NFL's most difficult strength of schedule in 2023. 1 Eagles 161-123-4 .566 2 Dolphins 158-127-2 .554 3 Patriots 156-128-3 .549 T-4 Cowboys 156-128-4 .549 T-4 Giants 157-129-2 .549 6 Jets 155-129-3 .545 7 Bills 155-131-2 .542 8 Commanders 153-133-2 .535 9 Rams 152-133-3 .533 10 Raiders 150-136-2 .524 11 Cardinals 148-147-3 .519 T-12 Chargers 149-139 .517 T-12 Broncos 148-138-2 .517 T-12 Seahawks 148-138-2 .517 15 49ers 147-142-0 .514 16 Chiefs 147-140 .512 17 Bengals 146-140-2 .510 18 Bears 143-145-1 .497 19 Vikings 143-145 .497 20 Lions 143-146 .495 21 Ravens 138-147-2 .484 22 Buccaneers 138-148-2 .483 23 Jaguars 135-148-4 .477 24 Packers 137-151-1 .476 25 Steelers 134-151-2 .470 26 Browns 131-154-2 .460 27 Panthers 130-157-2 .453 28 Titans 127-157-4 .448 29 Colts 124-162-2 .434 30 Texans 123-163-2 .431 31 Saints 122-164-3 .427 32 Falcons 119-167-3 .417
It's been 20 years since the NFC East has produced a repeat champion and based on this year's strength of schedule, that's a drought that likely isn't going to end this season. Philadelphia has a strength of schedule of .566, 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 Dolphins -- who will have a strength of schedule above .550.
The Eagles' rough schedule includes 10 games against 2022 playoff teams, which is tied for the most in the NFL. To put that in perspective, the other Super Bowl team from last year -- Kansas City -- will only have seven games against playoff teams from last season.
