Chicago Bears 2026

#26      
The rest of it is based off of last year's data. There are teams that take steps back, steps forward and then there's always injuries.

Very good point. Here is what was posted at this time last year (2025 strength of schedule based on 2024 records):
  • 1. New York Giants .574 (166-123)
  • T-2. Chicago Bears .571 (165-124)
  • T-2. Detroit Lions .571 (165-124)
  • 4. Philadelphia Eagles .561 (162-127)
After the season ended, the Bears had the fourth EASIEST schedule with a .458 SOS. Many of their opponents had 5+ more losses (Minnesota, Detroit, Washington) against only the 49ers that improved more than 1-2 wins. SOS will probably drop a little this year as well (NE? Jacksonville?) but I doubt it will be as drastic.
