It's a much tougher schedule in 2026, at least on paper. Only "easy" games are the Jets and the Raiders.  Everyone else is better than the Dolphins.  Of course you never know what teams will lose players, who will get drafted, who may be injured in preseason, etc. etc.

At this same time last offseason, NE and CAR were expected to be two of the easier opponents on the schedule, while WSH and TB were expected to be two of the tougher ones.  And a year before that, many people saw late December matchups vs. SF and at CLE as scheduled losses against two playoff teams with elite defenses.

Just because a team was good this year, that doesn't mean they will be good next year.  And just because a team was trash this year, that doesn't mean they will also be terrible next year.  The NFL is an extremely volatile league (outside of ~5 teams).
