Point is, teams face schedules as light as ours every year and don't go 9-0. |
No, they don't.
This year, Kansas City's average opponent has been 4.5 points worse than league-average. That might not sound like a lot, but it's truly remarkable. Since the merger in 1970, just 12 teams have finished the schedule with its average opponent 4.0 points worse than league-average.
It's totally cool that your incurious guess led you to a completely false conclusion, though. Really proved your point with that one.
