NFL remaining strength of schedule

2026 season. Teams are ordered by the average current team-strength rating of remaining opponents.

How remaining SOS is computed

Remaining strength of schedule is the average current team-strength rating of each team's remaining opponents this season. Those ratings are Elo, the same input the factor model already uses for win probability. Home advantage is left out, so the comparison is a neutral-site average. Played-so-far SOS is the same average for opponents already faced. A team with no rating yet is counted as 1500, the model default. Preseason and exhibition games are excluded. The same ratings appear on the NFL power rankings.
