Atlanta Falcons fans have heard this before; the team has an “easy” schedule on the horizon.
“The division is terrible.”
“The team doesn’t even need 10 wins to make the playoffs.”
“This is the year, just win the division.”
While not entirely inaccurate in theory, this line of thinking is a trap that fans fall for every year. The stage is set for this trend to continue in 2025, where the Falcons will have the fourth “easiest” Strength of Schedule (SOS) based on projected Vegas win totals.
