Ranking all 32 teams (including the Falcons) by 2024 strength of schedule

It’s officially Super Bowl week in the NFL as the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to take on the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday in Las Vegas. The other 30 NFL teams will be at home focusing on the 2024 season.

Eight teams, including the Atlanta Falcons and the Seattle Seahawks, have hired new head coaches and most are looking ahead to the upcoming free agency period. Plus, the NFL draft is just around the corner.

Another offseason milestone that fans look forward to is the release of the 2024 schedule. While the official schedule release is still roughly 100 days away, we do know which opponents each team will play against this season.

With that in mind, here’s a look at the 2024 strength of schedule for all 32 teams. As you’ll see below, the four NFC South teams have some of the weakest schedules in the entire NFL.
