The 2023 NFL schedules have officially been released for all 32 teams, and as fans view which games they want to circle on the calendar, some teams are looking at their opponents knowing they have a real shot to pick up a good amount of wins to make the playoffs. 

Strength of schedule is determined based on the win percentage of projected opponents from the previous season, which usually provides a baseline for how hard, or in this case easy, wins are going to come by for each team in the NFL. 

While wins each week are, of course, tough through the four quarters, these five teams have it much easier than their counterparts in 2023.

Head coach Mike Vrabel and the rest of the Titans want to erase how their 2022 season ended, seven straight losses which knocked them out of the playoffs and had them finish 7-10.

The Falcons and Steelers have young quarterbacks with developing talent still on the roster, no more Tom Brady in Tampa
