Posted May 9May 9 comment_1795730 Looks like the games will be trickling in before the "big bang" on May 14th. Any news you see, put it here!
May 9May 9 comment_1795751 They ought to say how they are measuring the strength of schedule. Sometimes it's based on opponents records from the previous season. Sometimes it's based on betting odds for the upcoming season.

It would seem the Bengals will be among the leaders at that point. I think I saw on Twitter that the Bengals are guaranteed to be on the road for Week 1 because of the Reds hosting the Mets and again Week 3 because of a Rod Stewart / Billy Joel concert at Paycor in Week 3 on Saturday night. It was explained that stage setup would prevent a Thursday game that week, as well. Could the Reds not play the Mets at 1:00 and then the Bengals host a SNF game at 8:00, or would that be a logistical mess? I assume the latter.

I've seen team's projected strength of schedule calculated a couple of different ways. One is based on over/under win totals for the upcoming season for their opponents. The other is based on the opponent's odds of winning the Superbowl or conference or making the playoffs.
