Remaining NFL 2025 Strength of Schedule: Vikings, Cowboys Have Hardest Slate After Week 6

The NFL season is in Week 6, and the team hierarchy is starting to take shape. As franchises begin to separate themselves from others, there are still 11 games to be played in the 2025 season. As teams win, lose, have players emerge, and go down, the strength of schedule will change.

Let’s see where all 32 teams sit with their remaining strength of schedule. We’ll also highlight which teams have had the easy road so far and who has had to fight for their wins.

What is the Remaining Strength of Schedule for all 32 NFL Teams?

While there are still games ongoing, this is the strength of the schedule at the end of the 1 o’clock games in Week 6:

1. Minnesota Vikings (3-2)
2. Dallas Cowboys (2-3-1)
3. Washington Commanders (3-2)
4. Arizona Cardinals (2-4)
5. Seattle Seahawks (4-2)
6. Houston Texans (2-3)
7. Philadelphia Eagles (4-2)
8. Las Vegas Raiders (1-4)
9. Indianapolis Colts (5-1)
10. New York Giants (2-4)
11. Detroit Lions (4-1)
12. Tennessee Titans (1-4)
13. Los Angeles Rams (4-2)
14. Los Angeles Chargers (4-2)
15. Kansas City Chiefs (2-3)
16. Carolina Panthers (3-3)
17. Denver Broncos (4-2)
18. Chicago Bears (2-2)
19. Green Bay Packers (2-1-1)
20. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-2)
21. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-1)
22. San Francisco 49ers (4-1)
23. Atlanta Falcons (2-2)
24. Buffalo Bills (4-1)
25. Miami Dolphins (1-5)
26. Pittsburgh Steelers (4-1)
27. Cincinnati Bengals (2-3)
28. Baltimore Ravens (1-5)
29. New York Jets (0-6)
30. New Orleans Saints (1-5)
31. Cleveland Browns (1-5)
32. New England Patriots (4-2)

Looking at the strength of schedules so far, some interesting trends will be fun to watch. The Ravens, who have had a tough start to the season due to a plethora of injuries, have also faced the hardest schedule so far. Things will get a bit easier as they face the fifth-easiest remaining strength of schedule.

Meanwhile, the Eagles have also faced off against high-quality opponents, facing the fifth-hardest schedule to start the season. However, things won’t get any easier as they face the seventh-hardest remaining strength of schedule with two matchups against the Commanders, a showdown with the Lions, a faceoff with the Bills, and a game against the Chargers left on the schedule.

On the opposite side of the rankings, the Patriots have faced the fifth-easiest schedule through six weeks, and second-year quarterback Drake Maye’s easy-going ride will continue as New England has the easiest remaining strength of schedule.

However, two teams that have faced some of the easiest schedules to start the 2025 season will see the difficulty ramp up quickly. The Vikings, who have had the second-easiest schedule, have the hardest remaining schedule, as Minnesota still has two matchups against the Lions and Packers left on the schedule, along with games against the Chargers, Commanders, Eagles, and Seahawks. Quite the gambit.

Additionally, the Cowboys, who began the year with the fourth-easiest schedule, will now face off against the second-hardest remaining schedule. This will be quite the test for a defense that has struggled mightily against the teams it has been facing. Based on PFSN’s Defense Impact metric, Dallas has the worst defense in the league.
