Your's doesn't make a lot of sense either.
What does yours say about Detroit, Jax, Jets/Giants? that they had the hardest just cause they couldn't put up points?
The strength of schedule isn't dependent on how the team does, but how their opponents do. The Jets had the 2nd most difficult schedule, because they played the Patriots twice, the Bills twice, the Titans, Eagles, Buccaneers, Saints and Bengals. All of these teams had positive ratings. The Lions are high as well, but again, it isn't because they were bad - it was because their opponents were good. The Lions played the Packers twice, the Bengals, the Rams, Cardinals, Eagles, and 49ers. Seven of their games were against playoff teams, including the Super Bowl participants and the 49ers, who were in the conference game.
Jacksonville? Tough schedule. They played the Cardinals, Bengals, Titans x2, Bills, 49ers, Rams, Patriots. They also played the Colts twice, who had a good rating but missed out on the playoffs. This SoS rating is just looking at your opponents and who they have played plus margin of victory. If your opponents have played good teams and beat them by a large MoV, you have a tough schedule.
