Who will be worse than us? Perhaps one of the Giants or Washington, maybe Arizona.
You never know... There are so many variables at play... Key injuries, schedules, etc.
Looking at the list of teams, I see a few possibilities:
Strength of Schedule from https://www.chatsports.com/nfl/a/20...-6-playoff-teams-and-patriots-get-lucky-39789
2. Broncos (.533)
Games against 10-win teams: 7; Games against playoff teams: 7
Yes, they have premier players on defense, but have a rookie HC with an old broken QB in a new system. With a few major injuries could be a bad team with a tough schedule
9. Vikings (.512)
Games against 10-win teams: 6; Games against playoff teams: 7
They still have a strong defense and talent on offense, but Zimmer is entering one of those years with a lot of pressure where you see some teams collapse, especially with Kirk Cousins having some struggles last year with a huge contract...
T-12. Cardinals (.508)
Games against 10-win teams: 6; Games against playoff teams: 6
Pretty barren of talent with either a 2nd year Rosen or a rookie QB with a HC that should be OC of USC right now...
T-19. Lions (.496)
Games against 10-win teams: 5; Games against playoff teams: 6
Beardo could see a revolt going into a Tannehill-esque QB situation
T-27. Bengals (.473)
Games against 10-win teams: 5; Games against playoff teams: 5
Major QB problems with a HC who should still be a QB coach somewhere...
T-27. Giants (.473)
Games against 10-win teams: 4; Games against playoff teams: 6
Got rid of a lot of talent and will likely be playing through Eli's swan song
For reference, Dolphins currently have the 18th most difficult schedule based on SoS (Though I think it will end up being more difficult than that looking at some of those teams, including the Browns on the schedule)
18. Dolphins (.498)
Games against 10-win teams: 6; Games against playoff teams: 7
