Now that the dates and times of the NFL schedule have been announced, we can finally get back to speculating our faces off about the upcoming NFL season. In this latest installment, I give you the five NFL teams with the toughest roads to the playoffs… if they get there.

Outside of the souped-up Seattle Seahawks, the New England Patriots are the surest bets to get back to the postseason. But it might not be nearly as glamorous for the Pats as it was in 2014. This season New England has to travel to the Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts, not to mention a two-time Super Bowl rematch with the New York Giants in East Rutherford.

Speaking of the sea devil, the Seattle Seahawks hit this chart at No. 4, drawing both the AFC and NFC North divisions. Seattle’s schedule contains a rematch with the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau and tough road games at Dallas, Baltimore and Cincinnati.

The Denver Broncos’ schedule is insult to injury, not only do the Broncos face their newest nemesis in the Colts, Denver gets Andrew Luck and his neckbeard in Indy. As if it were to serve for comfort, Denver’s mile-high slate includes the Packers, Bengals, Patriots and Ravens at home.

With the Steelers feature back Le’Veon Bell serving a suspension, Pittsburgh kicks off 2015 against the defending Super Bowl champion Patriots. Oh, but it gets easier from there, right? Not really if you consider the December gauntlet that is home against the Colts, at the Bengals, home against the Broncos and on the road against the Ravens.

Title town hasn’t won a Super Bowl since 2011, which isn’t a great gap for your typical franchise, but could’ve been made shorter if it weren’t for a late comeback by those meddling Seahawks. The Packers’ road to redemption includes the Cowboys, Seahawks (again!), Chargers, Chiefs, Broncos and Panthers to name a few bruising opponents.
