PFM ROAD AHEAD
2026 NFL Remaining Strength of Schedule Rankings
The Los Angeles Rams have the NFL’s toughest remaining schedule in the current PFM rankings. Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks are the main reasons why. There are manageable games left, but not enough to offset the strength of that group.
Current records matter more once the season starts, but they still miss some of what changed at quarterback, across the roster and on the sideline. PFM ranks the remaining schedule by where those opponents stand now, then updates the order as team strength changes. It does not predict individual games. It is a direct answer to which teams have the least room for an off week.

Road Ahead averages the current PFM Team Scores of every opponent still on the schedule. Home, away and neutral-site games are tracked for context, but venue does not change the opponent average. PFM is measuring schedule strength, not predicting individual games.
