Besides, there’s no guarantee that it would work even if they tried to do it.  The “strength of schedule” stat is based on each team’s performance from the previous year, but between the draft, free agency and various other transactions, every single team has a different roster than it did at the end of last season.  Some teams will improve, and others will decline.  So, saying “they have the easiest schedule” isn’t the sure bet that you think it is. 

Finally, I don’t really get what incentive the NFL would have to rig things in the Browns’ favor in the first place.  Why would their success be better for the NFL than any other team’s?

Nah. You just start with the Browns and give them the easiest games for those first 6, then base everything else off that. 



I literally can't even begin to fathom how anyone, Browns fan or foe, would even beging to believe there is even a shred of truth or possibility to that. I mean...we're talking about the Browns.
