The Oakland Raiders had a great season in 2016, finishing the year 12-4 and ending their playoff drought that had spanned since 2002.
If they hope to start a new streak of winning seasons and playoff appearances, the road is about to get tougher.
In 2017, based on the winning percentages of the 2016 season, the Raiders will have the fourth toughest schedule in the NFL.
It’s no surprise, but the AFC West takes up the top four. As the best division in football, each team has to play one another twice, thus boosting the strength of schedule compared to other teams.
