Well we're officially in last place:

I figure (hope anyway) that this team today is one of the better ones on our schedule, and we will improve and start winning with this next opponent, the Eagles.

I sure hope so. I'll be at that game.

Not sure I understand your use of mixed up idiom "all up hill from here" especially with the cryptic "hopefully" tagged to the end of it. 

Usually the idiom reads "It's all down here from here" meaning someone / or some people have climbed to the peak of a hill or mountain and rest of it is easy going. 

OR the idiom reads " It's going to be an uphill battle from here" meaning someone has just begun to struggle and the struggle is going to get worse as the elevation grows. 

I'm assuming you mean the schedule gets easier here on out - or at least it hopefully does - but I just need to check. 

Stake your claim early and avoid the late season rush.
