NFL Strength of Schedule

With a stacked roster and a weak slate of opponents, a bet on the Houston Texans to go over their 2012 win total is awfully tempting.

But that’s just one of the intriguing bets based on NFL strength of schedule data.

The traditional way of calculating 2012 strength of schedule in the NFL is annoying, so we came up with our own rankings.

Cleveland Browns rookies Brandon Weeden and Trent Richardson probably wouldn’t like the results.

Tampa Bay’s 2012 win total is still sitting at only 6, one of the lowest in the league. But with the 27th-rated strength of schedule, would the Buccaneers be a good bet to go over?

They’re still a work in progress, but there are a few indicators of a bounce-back season ahead.
