The 2024 NFL schedule will soon be officially announced. Each team already knows its opponents for the upcoming season, but the specific dates and times haven’t been released yet. However, Warren Sharp from Sharp Football Analysis has already assessed the strength of the schedule for all 32 teams using projected win totals set by Vegas oddsmakers.
Atlanta Falcons Poised for Success in The NFL
The Atlanta Falcons will have the easiest schedule in the NFL next season. After a busy offseason that included signing quarterback Kirk Cousins and replacing Arthur Smith with head coach Raheem Morris, the Falcons are expected to be strong contenders in the NFC South. With their upgraded roster, Atlanta should be well-positioned to dominate their division.
Los Angeles Chargers Eye Resurgence Under Jim Harbaugh
The Los Angeles Chargers are set to play the easiest schedule in the AFC. New head coach Jim Harbaugh brings experience and a solid track record from his previous NFL stint, and this should be a promising year for the Chargers as they aim to shed their recent irrelevance. A successful partnership between Harbaugh and quarterback Justin Herbert could help the team return to prominence.

Chicago Bears Bet on Caleb Williams, Matt Eberflus
The Chicago Bears are under the spotlight after drafting quarterback Caleb Williams first overall, moving on from Justin Fields. Fans are divided over the decision, putting extra pressure on Williams, who is already facing scrutiny. Head coach Matt Eberflus also faces expectations to deliver results, and with the third-easiest schedule, the Bears have a strong chance of building a winning season.
New York Jets Ready for Aaron Rodgers Era
The New York Jets are navigating their first full season in the Aaron Rodgers era. With Rodgers returning from an Achilles injury that sidelined him early, the Jets are determined to support him with an improved offensive line and two new receivers: Mike Williams and rookie Malachi Corley. If Rodgers stays healthy, New York could see a respectable campaign with their favorable schedule.
New Orleans Saints Eye Rebound with Easy Schedule
The New Orleans Saints underperformed in 2023 despite having an easy schedule, managing only nine wins. The head coach and quarterback duo of Dennis Allen and Derek Carr are unremarkable, and a rebuild seems inevitable if their performance doesn’t improve. However, their relatively easy schedule gives the Saints an opportunity to exceed last year’s results.
