Results through (Eastern time).
Calculated by WHYNFL from final scores and the published schedule. Regular season only; ties count as half a win.
How is strength of schedule calculated?
Add the wins, losses and ties of every remaining opponent, counting an opponent twice when two meetings remain. Divide wins plus half the ties by total games: (wins + 0.5 × ties) ÷ (wins + losses + ties). An opponent’s games against the team being ranked are included.
For example, a combined opponent record of 10 wins, 8 losses and 2 ties gives (10 + 1) ÷ 20 = .550. This is an illustration of the calculation, not a current team’s record. Equal percentages rounded to three decimal places share a rank; a dash means no percentage is available.
Current records or last season’s records?
The current-record column changes as games finish. The 2025 column applies last season’s final records to the games that remain this season; it is not the full preseason schedule ranking. The opponents-played column covers games already completed. Read the NFL schedule alongside the current standings for each matchup’s context.
