Strength of Schedule

The AFC East plays the NFC East. The AFC West plays the NFC North. The AFC North plays the NFC West. The AFC South plays the NFC South. Hard generally equals dominant quarterbacks. The good quarterbacks are loaded into the AFC East, West, and North and NFC East. Most of the teams the Saints play also have an easy schedule. I would bet the over on the Saints for the same reason you bet on the best team in a bad college conference or a high school team that dominates 4A but does not have to test itself against 5A teams. The Eagles have a tougher schedule than last year. The Saints have an easier schedule this year. In 2022 the NFC East played the AFC South and the NFC North. In those 8 games the Eagles went 8-0. This year the NFC South gets that schedule.
