Huh?

Interesting that the preview for the 2009 schedule shows that the Bears have the "easiest" schedule of all 32 teams with their opponents only having won 41% of games in 2008, although we do play 7 teams who were in the 2008 playoffs.
Of course that is temepered by Minnesota playing teams with a 42% win ratio, Green Bay a 43% win ration and lowly Detroit (0-16 last year) playing a 47% winning ratio (but only 5 playoff teams).
How does all that work then? Pittsburgh (schedule ranked 29 out of 32 with a 43% ratio) should have the hardest schedule but it actually goes to Miami with a 59% win ratio.
I know that some divisions were poor - NFC North prime amongst them, and some were tough - AFC East for example.
Any given Sunday right?
