Always a good source of discussion, strength of schedule stats can be interpreted a variety of ways. In 2015, the Redskins had one of the five easiest schedules--and they turned it into a playoff run. In 2016--as reported by CBS--the Redskins are currently 17th overall in strength of schedule.

So, what about this list stands out to you? To me, what stands out is how the NFC East is rocking the bottom half of these rankings. (It also feels weird to see "Los Angeles Rams" on a list of NFL teams.)
What one team do you think is going to benefit from this, and even better, what team do you think is going to have a way harder time than this list seems to indicate?
