2026 Detroit Lions Remaining Strength of Schedule

Detroit has one of the league’s more favorable remaining roads at No. 25, with opponents averaging 77.9. New England Patriots, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears still give the schedule a real test, but 3 games against current top-10 teams keep the full road from looking as heavy as most.

How PFM Measures Strength of Schedule

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.
