NFL 2006 Strength of Schedule rankings

By my own numbers, here are the tougest and easiest strength of schedules:

Toughest:
Tampa Bay
Cincinnati
New York Giants
New Orleans
Pittsburgh

Easiest:
Chicago
Seattle
Green Bay
Minnesota
New England

One comparison that jumps at me is CHI vs CIN because they are right next to each other alphabetically. I have CIN rated as a better team than CHI - 10th and 17th in the league respectively. But I have CHI expected to win 9.34 games, while CIN to only win 8.26 games. That's all due to the difference in the schedule. This has a major impact on regular season wins.
