...which is why at this point in the season it's impossible to make a real good power ranking and stuff like that.

props to the Lions for taking the leagues toughest schedule so far and still finding a way to win a game. The Browns have the second toughest and they have a win as well.

Should the games against the team in question not count when figuring out the strength of schedule? Otherwise you get a circular thing, where the Lions seem to lose because of the high strength of schedule, but their losses in turn strengthen their strength of schedule.

My brain hurts.

This tends to even out the numbers, but does highlight how impressive the Bengals have been against a tough schedule and how crappy the Texans have been given their opponents.
Still looks like the Lions and Browns deserve our pity and the Eagles and Giants our skepticism.
And the Commanders still suck.
