Using our Oscillator-5 Plutonium super computer, we took every single upcoming NFL matchupfor the 2026 season and calculated our proprietary strength of schedule passing and rushing matchup ratings.
Final strength of schedule ratings scores are calculated based on two dimensions:
1) Defensive team performance and 2) The level of offensive competition that the defensive teams have faced.
Current week, regular season and fantasy playoff week ratings are calculated using the specific matchups for those respective weeks.
