Even though the Bengals technically have the easiest schedule, the Lions' schedule is more impactful to winning their division.
That's because the entire AFC North has easy schedules. But the rest of the NFC North all have strength of schedules in the top 16.

Easiest 2026 schedules, per FPI:
1. Bengals
2. Lions
3. Saints
