Around SBN: Jeff Sullivan's MLB Trade Deadline Primer

Next Year's Schedule

ESPN's Kevin Seifert posted an interesting article today on our strength of schedule for next season (NFC North plays the AFC North this season).  (Here is the list of home and away opponents for next season)  This season's strength of schedule was .531 (136-120).  This next season we have a .414 (105-149-2).  While this number is skewed because we have the priveladge of playing the Lions twice.  However, between the Packers, Vikings and Lions, we play the most play-off teams (7).  Last year the Patriots had the easiest schedule in the league (.387) and they went 11-5.  There are definate advantages to playing easier teams but this guarentee's us nothing because so much can change during the season.  The Steelers had the hardest schedule (.598) at the beginning of the season.  This dropped to .525 by the end of the season (Arizona had .465 at the beginning of the season.

I was at Soldier Field

last time we played the Ravens… i believe in 05?

larry has that system down to a science. Especially with the way the economy is….big wigs like larry coming in dressed in their mink coats and 24k gold cigarrete holders with pockets lined with coke make for a large draw during shift changes.
