Week 4 Elo Ratings: Seahawks #4

Just wondering where it says they have an easier schedule?

I think it more has to do with the current two game lead. I believe we have 14 games in common correct?

The only difference in our schedules is we play the Eagles and Saints. And we travel to the Eagles at a 10am start in Decembers cold weather.

You guys host Carolina and play the Cowboys without Dez and Romo. I don't think it is the schedule that is giving those results but more to do with the results so far and what happens during 20,000 simulations moving forward.

It also takes into account current tiebreakers.
Cardinals 1-0 in Division Seahawks 0-1
Etc in which means as things stand the Seahawks are down by 3 games with tiebreakers as opposed to 2. Yes it reflects the Seahawks are more than likely a stronger team than the Cardinals, but that they have to overcome the current deficit

The current deficit is part of playing @Lambeau Field, as the second of back-to-back road games to open the season.

The Seahawks also play @Cincinnati (10 AM), @Minnesota (10 AM), @Dallas (another back-to-back road game) and @Baltimore (a 3rd back-to-back road game).

I'm not sure how it is even a question that the Seahawks' schedule, coming off a Super Bowl, is substantially more challenging than the Cardinals'.

It isn't substantially more challenging. The schedules are very similar. Any difference is based on the game start times, home vs away matchups and timing of the games which is pretty negligible when you consider the teams have 14 of 16 matchups against the same opponents.. They have almost identical opponents

Yes, that is the difference.

Seahawks get THREE sets of difficult back-to-back road games, including the first two games against the best defensive line in the league and @Lambeau Field. The Seahawks get Carolina and Dallas, while they get two teams who have looked pretty awful (New Orleans and Philadelphia). Although if Romo misses the game, then Dallas showed to be only a little stronger than Philadelphia.

Won't Romo miss that game since he is IR's and can't return until week 8?

Yes buy our game against Philly is a 10AM in start, in likely fridgid temperatures. The difference you are making out is minimal if anything. We don't know how Philly will be playing at that time.

We also have 3 sets of back to back road games. @ Det and @ Pit. Then we have @SF @Stl, and a @ Cle and @ Sea.

I mean we have to play the Super Bowl runner up... Do you guys have to play the Super Bowl runner up? Lets just say what is it and that the scheduled are literally almost identical. We play at Seattle which I'd say is just as hard as your Lambeau game. You guys don't have to play in a hostile century link.
