Who got the toughest, who got the easiest schedules?

Toughest
schedule goes to Carolina. Their opponents had a combined 142-114 record.

Next is the Buffalo Bills at 137-119

Third toughest is Denver at 133-123(Chiefs have the 7th most difficult schedule)

Easiest schedule goes to Arizona. Their opponents had a combined 113-143 record.

Next is Baltimore at 117-139

Third easiest is San Francisco at 119-137.

For those of you who love to hate the Dallas Cowboys, here's some additional ammunition to fuel your fire, the Cowboys got 5 prime time games including Thanksgiving Day. That's the most allowed by league rules. I guess a 6-10 record doesn't mean much. That's more than the World Champion Green Bay Packers got, in fact 5 playoff teams will receive less prime time exposure than the Cowboys. Seems fair to me, as most of you know, I'm a huge fan of the 'Boys(GAG!), but I do see a problem. What the hell are Joe Buck & Troy Aikman going to do Sundays without a Cowboy game to broadcast?
