Looking Ahead: 2008 Strength of Schedule -- Correction

Correction: We neglected to factor the Steelers' divisional opponents records in twice. The original winning percentage we calculated was .630, the corrected percentage is .607.

With the 2007 season now concluded it's time to look ahead -- and be afraid, very afraid. Here is the won-loss record (and winning percentage) of each of the Steelers' 2008 opponents:

	W	L	PCT.
New England	16	0	1.000
Dallas	13	3	.813
Indianapolis	13	3	.813
Jacksonville	11	5	.688
San Diego	11	5	.688
N.Y. Giants	10	6	.625
Tennessee	10	6	.625
Cleveland	10	6	.625
Cleveland	10	6	.625
Washington	9	7	.563
Philadelphia	8	8	.500
Cincinnati	7	9	.438
Cincinnati	7	9	.438
Baltimore	5	11	.313
Baltimore	5	11	.313
	145	94	.607

The Steelers won't have the toughest schedule (after all Cincinnati and Baltimore have to play the Steelers), but to provide some context, coming into the 2007 season the Steelers' opponents had a winning percentage of .512, and the Raiders and Bills had the NFL's toughest schedules -- their respective opponents had .539 winning percentages.
