I'm just curious as to how you guys see the schedule as "easy." There's at least 4 or 5 contenders who could be potential playoff candidates.

I'd be disappointed if the 9ers didn't win at least 9 games this year with all the off-season acquisitions they made this year combined with the progress of Gore & Smith. Only time will tell though.

49ers get soft schedule, but Raiders land toughest

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2007/04/11/SPGMQP6MGK9.DTL

The 2006 season wasn't kind to the Raiders, and the 2007 schedule isn't cutting them any breaks, either. Along with the Buffalo Bills, they are saddled with the toughest schedule statistically in the NFL this season.

But you won't hear the 49ers complain about their lineup of '07 opponents.

After narrowly missing the playoffs last season, the 49ers ended up with one of the NFL's softest '07 schedules, facing teams that had a combined .469 winning percentage in '06.

As previously announced, the NFL is spotlighting the 49ers' Sept. 10 season opener at home against the Arizona Cardinals as a marquee ESPN Monday Night matchup between two rising young quarterbacks: Alex Smith vs. Matt Leinart.

In all, the 49ers have four nationally televised games this season, against the Cardinals, the Seahawks, the Bengals and the Buccaneers.


The NFL released its full 17-week, 256-game regular-season schedule Wednesday to much fanfare, with the Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts garnering four prime-time television appearances, starting with the league's regular-season debut, a Thursday night Sept. 6 game at home against the NFC runner-up New Orleans Saints. That game marks the sixth consecutive year the NFL has opened its regular season on a Thursday.

Burdened with the worst record in the NFL last season at 2-14, the Raiders will be facing the league's most difficult cast of opponents in 2007. Once they get past their regular season opener, a home contest Sept. 9 against the Detroit Lions (3-13 in 2006), the schedule gets a lot tougher.

Combined, the Raiders' '07 opponents had a .539 winning percentage in 2006, and all three of their AFC West opponents finished .500 or better. September may be the Raiders' easiest month: After opening against the Lions, they travel to Denver for a Sept. 16 AFC West game against the Broncos before returning home to face the Browns at the Coliseum on Sept. 23. They finish the month with a long road trip to Miami for a Sept. 30 game against the Dolphins, followed by an Oct. 7 bye.

The 49ers' bye comes the following week (Oct. 14). They will face the AFC North teams for the first time in four years, including an Oct. 7 home game against the Ravens that will mark coach Mike Nolan's first matchup against Baltimore since his days as the team's defensive coordinator in 2004.

The Ravens and the Broncos will each appear on ESPN's Monday Night Football three times, while the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Bears each are scheduled to appear in three NBC-televised Sunday Night games.

Three Thanksgiving Day games are on tap for the second year in a row. The Lions play host to the Packers, followed by the Jets at the Cowboys and the Colts at the Falcons. The Indianapolis-Atlanta game is the first of eight games broadcast by the NFL Network over the final six weeks of the regular season.

There is no Christmas Day game in 2007, and the regular-season concludes Dec. 30 when the Jets play host to the Chiefs in a Sunday night contest. The playoffs begin Jan. 5. The Super Bowl will be played Feb. 3 in Glendale, Ariz.

Fuck the winning percentages, the Niners' schedule looks pretty hard to me. Of course, it's a new year and every team I think is good on that schedule could bomb and end up lousy, but I doubt it will happen.
