According to Warren Sharp of Sharp Football Analysis, the Bills have the 14th-easiest strength of schedule for this coming season.
Sharp uses 2026 win totals from Vegas oddsmakers for strength of schedule. The other method is using 2025 opponent win percentage, but that doesn't reflect the changes teams make during the offseason.
