We all know that "any given Sunday" really does apply n the NFL.
Recall we lost to Washing ton at home last year and beat Seattle on the road.
I consider all games at least semi-difficult.
So this is more in fun and curiosity than anything.

Having said that, here is how I'd very roughly rank the degree of difficulty for remaining 15 game given where the team is right now (who is injured or suspended, etc).

Hardest first.
  1. at Green Bay
  2. New England
  3. at Philadelphia
  4. Seattle
  5. a Buffalo
  6. Philadelphia
  7. at New Orleans
  8. Atlanta
  9. at New York
  10. at Washington
  11. at Miami
  12. Carolina
  13. Washington
  14. NY Jets
  15. at Tampa Bay

Just a stab. What stands out to me is that even way down the list there are still tough games.

Let's see some of your rankings. It should be pretty spread out, I'd think.

It's a real rough schedule. Even without dez and gregory for like 2 months this team can still win.

Rogers is a stud, but there Defense is awful! Bad, pathetic. I have never seen so many yards on sweep plays since the 60's in that game!

Nobody is feeling sorry for GB about Jordy, and at least Dez will be coming back. For the rest of the schedule who knows, players will get hurt, coaches will suck, etc. It's too early to decipher anything right now!

I would put home with Atlanta below at Miami and home against Carolina.

I feel the degree of difficulty is completely on us. Not the opposing team.

If we take care of business then we can beat any team this year.

I think we should be favored in all but 3-4 of those games. The schedule always looks tougher this time of year than it ends up being.

I think I would put @ Buffalo at number two. Maybe even number 1.

I'd also probably put the Jets in the middle somewhere.
