Default This new stat = Championship, baby!

The Colts have the easiest strength of schedule in the NFL next season, based on opponent winning percentage from 2016. Colts opponents have a combined winning percentage of .424, which is .015 percentage points the next closest teams (Jacksonville, Tennessee) and a far distance behind the toughest schedule, which belongs to the Denver Broncos (.578).
Away:
Baltimore (8-8)
Buffalo (7-9)
Cincinnati (6-9-1)
Houston (9-7)
Jacksonville (3-13)
Los Angeles Rams (4-12)
Seattle (10-5-1)
Tennessee (9-7)

Home:
Arizona (7-8-1)
Cleveland (1-15)
Denver (9-7)
Houston (9-7)
Jacksonville (3-13)
Pittsburgh (11-5)
San Francisco (2-14)
Tennessee (9-7)

Only 2 double-digit win teams next year (PIT, SEA) and three 9-7 teams (DEN, HOU, TEN).

7 out of 16 games against teams with winning records in 2016.

CHAMPIONSHIP!

Okay, perhaps not, but I agree with another quote from the article:
Quote:
"Basically, if Chuck Pagano can’t get his team turned around in 2017, Jim Irsay might be forced to fire him," wrote John Breech of CBS Sports.
His lips to God's ears.

Cheers,
