The Las Vegas Raiders have faced the toughest schedule in the NFL through seven weeks. This is according to FootballOutsiders, who says that the combined DVOA (What’s DVOA?) of LV’s first six opponents is the best in the league for anybody’s slate.
Among the six teams with the toughest schedule so far, the Bears are 5-2, the Saints are 4-2 and the Raiders are 3-3, while the Broncos are 2-4, the Vikings are 1-5 and the Texans are 1-6. None of those teams have an easier remaining strength of schedule than Las Vegas does and only two clubs around the league have it better (allegedly) from now until the playoffs.
