2024 NFL best ball playoffs strength of schedule grid

Welcome to some offseason NFL information that just might get you champing at the bit to play some best ball while everyone else dreams of September football. Best ball is fun, but it has also become a huge part of fantasy football, which means there is real money to be won in leagues now. Finding an edge is tough, but the more information you have, the better your chances.

For this article I’ll take a look at the best ball playoff schedules across the league. Most best ball tournaments that pay out larger sums will have you pitted against thousands of teams and if you get into the playoffs, the numbers will narrow, but you’ll still likely be against hundreds of teams in the playoffs and those Week 15, 16, and 17 games will be crucial if you are to have a shot at winning the big bucks.

We’ll take a look at the current Vegas win-totals to find the easiest playoff schedules.

Easiest best ball playoffs schedule

Colts — at DEN, TEN, at NYG
Cardinals — NE, at CAR, at LAR
Chargers — TB, DEN, at NE
Falcons — at LV, NYG, at WAS
Bengals — at TEN, CLE, DEN

All five of these teams have interesting stacks to consider in best ball, with Anthony Richardson, Kyler Murray, Justin Herbert, Kirk Cousins and Joe Burrow leading the way into good playoff matchups. Of course, you have to be discerning here, as the Patriots, Browns and even Raiders do have formidable defenses. The good news is that if their offense can’t keep up, their defense will remain at a disadvantage, especially late in the season.
