The San Francisco 49ers have one of the easiest schedules in the NFL for the 2025 season, according to several metrics. They boast the easiest strength of schedule, as their opponents had a win percentage of 0.415 in 2024.
However, that doesn’t mean that they have a direct shot at the playoffs, as each of the last three teams who held that distinction missed the playoffs. There are still several games against tough opponents, including a competitive division schedule, where the 49ers went just 1-5 in 2024.
Last weekend, I pointed out the toughest games on the 49ers schedule for the 2025 season: Weeks 5 and 10 versus the Los Angeles Rams, Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks, Week 17 against the Chicago Bears, and Week 8 against the Houston Texans.
