This schedule makes no sense to me. My team (Seattle) starts off with 6 of the first 7 games on the road. It includes both 16-0 Super Bowl team even though neither are in my division. And the winning percentage of my opponent's is 57.4% AND this is a last place schedule?????

@Atlanta Falcons 16-0
@New Orleans Saints 11-5
Pittsburgh Steelers 9-7
@Green Bay Packers 1-15
@Los Angeles Rams 7-9
@Cincinnati Bengals 10-6
@Arizona Cardinals 10-6
Dallas Cowboys 4-12
Los Angeles Rams 7-9
@Baltimore Ravens 5-11
Carolina Panthers 13-3
@San Francisco 49ers 9-7
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10-6
Cleveland Browns 16-0
Arizona Cardinals 10-6
San Francisco 49ers 9-7
Opponent's 2004 combined record: 147-109 57.4%

The schedule is done just like NFL but you just got a bad draw. Aside from your 6 division games your division is paired with NFC South and AFC Central which just happen to be pretty tough.

The "last place schedule" only affects 2 games, which is 1-15 Green Bay and 4-12 Dallas.

Just think of all those home games you get to play at the end of the season in that cold and damp Seattle rain.

Oh yeah, forgot about the wacky home/road splits. Idk why but the MFN schedule often features home/road oddities. Once I opened with 4 straight road games but at least it does equal out in the end. Travel isn't factored in either, which is a good thing in custom leagues since some teams are based in England.
