Over at CBS Sports, John Breech recently broke down every NFL team’s strength of schedule in 2016 – based off of standings from a year ago. The 49ers, along with the Atlanta Falcons, topped the list with their opponents posting a combined 142-114 record for a .555 winning percentage.
Last month, we published an article detailing how the NFL’s rotating schedule works and its affect on the 49ers 2016 opponents. To summarize, the teeth of San Francisco’s schedule will come in six games. The 49ers have to face the Arizona Cardinals (13-3) and the Seattle Seahawks (10-6) twice in addition to matchups versus the Carolina Panthers (15-1) and New England Patriots (12-4).
