Back in February, we looked at the 2020 strength of schedule here on Blogging The Boys, and found that the Cowboys have the third-easiest strength of schedule in 2020.
That would seemingly play to the Cowboys’ advantage this year, but as Dave Halprin pointed out in that article, strength of schedule (SOS) usually doesn’t mean much come the new season.
Of course, part of the reason for that easy schedule is the fact that the NFC East is such a terrible division right now. The Eagles won it at 9-7, and Washington and New York were horrible last year.
