Strength of Schedule: Who Faces the Toughest Lines for NFL Games?

The 2024 NFL schedule is out, and with it comes the burning question: which teams face the toughest lines for their games? Dive into our analysis to see who has the most challenging road ahead and how it might impact their lines for NFL betting.

With the NFL schedule out, it’s time to discuss the schedules for each team, and how it relates to their betting totals for the season. Let’s take a look at the NFL Betting anaylsis of the toughest schedules for  the 2024 season.

NFL Betting Analysis of the Toughest Schedules for the Season | MyBookie Football Betting Preview of the National Football Conference Season

Cleveland Browns 8.5 wins

The Cleveland Browns were kind of the darlings of the National Football League for much of the season a year ago. Have the Browns improved enough this season to get back to a postseason spot?

Cleveland has a total of 8.5 wins, and that seems too high. The division is tough again, and there are too many question marks, especially with the quarterback position.

The Browns face a schedule that went 27 games over .500 a season ago. They play 12 of their 17 games against teams that went .500 or better last season. 8 of their games are against playoff teams from last season.

This seems a tough task, and a UNDER bet on a franchise that has not consistently won is the right move.

Green Bay Packers 9.5 wins

The Packers were also kind of the toast of the town a season ago. Green Bay was the youngest team in the league, and reached the postseason. Will teams be able to catch on to Jordan Love a bit this season?

Will Green Bay still be as effective in the run game with the loss of Aaron Jones? The division may be better this season, with Chicago coming up as a contender. The Packers play a schedule that was 15 over .500 a season ago. 11 of their games this season are against teams that went .500 or better.

The Packers are playing against 7 playoff teams from a season ago. 9.5 wins could be lofty. This could be a 9-8 team, and we win our bet.

That’s what we are banking on. Green Bay is going to be fine, but their schedule tells us to take the UNDER on them.

Chicago Bears 8.5 wins

The expectations for the 2024 Chicago Bears are sky high. This is a team that is dying to get back to the postseason. This is a team that sent their starting quarterback Justin Fields out of town, and will be starting a rookie quarterback.

The number one pick in the draft in Caleb Williams. This team brought in several key parts to help the offense, including Keenan Allen. The Bears schedule sees them play teams that went 19 games under .500 a season ago.

Chicago plays 10 games against teams that went 500 or better, and will only see 7 playoff teams, and 4 of those are from the Lions and Packers. This schedule has Williams and the Bears set up for success in his first season.

This tells us to take the OVER 8.5 wins for the Chicago Bears in 2024.

Atlanta Falcons 9.5 wins

Someone has to win the NFC South, rught? The Falcons made the splash move and went out and get veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins. But, then they drafted Michael Penix Jr. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

There is a new head coach in Atlanta, and one that should start using Bijan Robinson to his ability. The Falcons play one of the worst schedules in all of the National Football league.

Atlanta’s opponents had a .453 win percentage last season. The Falcons saw them go 131-158 a season ago. Atlanta plays just six teams that made the playoffs last season.

Tampa Bay is going to be down a bit. New Orleans is not ready for the jump. Carolina seems to be at the bottom of the league ago. This has the makings of a nice season for the Falcons. 10- 7 and a divisional title? We will bet it.

We are taking the OVER on the Falcons after seeing their 2024 schedule.

Los Angeles Chargers 8.5 wins

Our final team is the Los Angeles Chargers. Coach Harbaugh is looking to come in and completely erase the nasty play of the last few years. The Chargers see opponents that had a .478 win percentage a season ago.

The Chargers know someone else in the AFC West has to step up. The Chiefs are the class of the division, but are they living on borrowed time?

Los Angeles will be a different looked team in 2024, but Justin Herbert will still be in charge of the offense? We like Harbaugh’s approach and he will bring discipline to the organization. Los Angeles plays a schedule that went .478 a season ago. The Chargers see just six playoff teams from last season.

We like the OVER for the Chargers. If someone else is going to win 9+ games out of the AFC West, it is going to be Los Angeles.

NFL Season for 2024

The preseason action for the National Football League starts Thursday August 1st in the Hall of Fame Game. That will feature the Houston Texans and Chicago Bears. The month of August features preseason action.

The first regular season game of the season will pit an AFC title game rematch between the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs. That will be held September 5th, 2024.
