10 games against teams .500 or better?

I didn't remove the .500 teams for any reason other than to look at the "winning" teams they played. It has nothing to do with supporting my argument.
Early on, I said I view this as below, at or over .500 and I've stuck with that theme during my commentary. You and I view things differently.
I look at teams and their schedules and when trying to determine who had the harder road, I say "Who played the most teams at .500 or below and who played the most over .500?"
The Broncos were .500 last year... did they scare anyone or when you think of them, do you consider them as a "tough" team that was played? The Chargers were also .500 and they went to the playoffs... hard to really judge those .500 and below teams, so I group them together.
When it's all said and done, I think the 2008 schedule will prove to be tougher than 2009 for NE... no matter how you view it.
