How PFM Measures Strength of Schedule
Road Ahead averages the current PFM Team Scores of every opponent on the regular-season 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.
Traditional comparison source: NFL.com 2025 regular-season league standings Records are labelled for the 2025 season through Week 18.
