I bet higher than the Bills.

But we will work on changing that up a little this week!

San Diego is 18th on the list. What's ironic is 1-11 for difficulty of schedule is in the AFC, Washington starts with #12 for the NFC. They have a 4-7 record.

Taking it even a step further, the 3 easiest schedules in the AFC belong to:

21. Baltimore, 9-2 record
19. Kansas city, 7-4 record
18. San Diego, 9-2 record

It's mildly ironic that I brought up this argument about ease of schedule and record and got clocked by everybody. I guess it shows up in the standing though. 25 wins and 8 losses, wow.
