As teams jockey for playoff spots and home-field advantage, it can be useful to look at the remaining schedules. According to how teams have played so far, The Seahawks, Texans, Bills and Falcons will play the easiest schedules the rest of the way.

Seattle checks in with the easiest schedule overall. It’s still got a gimme game against 1-9 San Francisco, and its other five remaining opponents are a combined 21-29-1.

Carolina, Denver and Kansas City have the hardest remaining schedule, followed by a pair of NFC East teams (Dallas and Philadelphia).
