The Raiders and Steelers both improved to 5-4 in Week 10, and the remaining schedules could give them a leg up in making the postseason. They have two of the easiest remaining schedules.

Oakland’s remaining games are against teams that are currently a combined 24-42-0. Pittsburgh’s last seven games are against teams that are 24-39-1. Only one team has an easier remaining slate of game – the Browns (22-41-1).

Four of the five hardest remaining schedules, meanwhile, belong to teams in the NFC West. It looks like the 49ers, Seahawks and Rams could beat up on each other (with the Cardinals also getting caught up in that).

The Titans improved to 5-5 on Sunday with a big win over Kansas City, but they have the hardest remaining schedule in the AFC.
