Saints have 3rd hardest stength of schedule in 2013; Panthers' hardest

Strength of schedule is great if it actually predicted what would happen in the upcoming season.

Truth don't know why this got thumbs downed. But that SOS is based upon their 2012 record, it's going to look different by the end of the 2013 season.

for the record though I do think we have a pretty tough going next season, we have the NFC West the new powerhouse Division with physical Defenses in it, and our other two Conference games are Chicago on the road (always some demons for us there), and the Giants who are always a pretty competitive team lately. We kind of lucked out with the AFC opponents as the East has Miami, Buffalo, and the Jets all teams under going a rebuilding process; the Patriots are really the only Out of Conference opponent to worry about IMO.
