This says that us Flying Monkeys have played teams that have won almost a full game more than the team with the next strongest schedule in the league.

Alpha confrence, you've been warned!

This doesn't really mean anything unless you take out the games that the team in question played against its opponents. For example, of course New England, Brisbane, and Carabao are going to have opponents with low winning percentages. Why? Because we keep beating the teams that we play. Just to take Brisbane as an example, the only proper way to do it would be to weight how teams that Brisbane played in the games where they didn't play Brisbane.

Ding! Ding! We have a winner. That is how you determine a true strength of schedule.

Much better, doesn't change it a ton, but it is statistically accurate now. If you really want me to get nerdy in here, I can break out a chi-squared table and start getting the confidence levels on those numbers too...
