It makes perfect sense.

- The Bills have had a cream-puff schedule. Josh Allen sucks. The offense can't score. The Bills can't beat a good team.

- Cleveland is at home.

- The Browns have played the Titans, Rams, Ravens, 49er's, Seahawks and the Patriots. If the Browns had the Bills schedule the Browns would be 6-2 right now.

- The line makes perfect sense.


Glad I could help.

They still get the Ravens again and the Steelers (twice) probably with Big Ben back.
It doesn't get any better for the Browns.

Ben is out for the season

Here’s a breakdown of how each team’s opponents are set:

Six games against divisional opponents — two games per team, one at home and one on the road.
Four games against teams from a division within its conference — two games at home and two on the road.
Four games against teams from a division in the other conference— two games at home and two on the road.
Two games against teams from the two remaining divisions in its own conference — one game at home and one on the road. Matchups are based on division ranking from the previous season.

Bottom line... only two games per year are based on rankings from the previous year.
Division games within their own conference cycle every 3 years.
Division games outside their conference cycle every 4 years.

That's how the Patriots won the Super Bowl last year but have the easiest strength of schedule in the league this year.

Glad I could help. I always look forward to continuing your education.

That's an impressive stat for a Canadian. I was thinking your energy would be more devoted toward cleaning up the CFL. You know the 2 acre end zones and receivers getting a running head start.

You failed to mention the 3 downs, or the wider field, or the 12th player on either side of the ball.

And being able to sit on the 55 yd line.

We also put our goal posts on the goal line instead of further back as we know that you have to run around them.
