NFL Predicts 2025 Schedule Easiest for 49ers, Bills, Saints, Titans

Several NFL teams are projected to have notably easy schedules for the 2025 season, according to analyst Warren Sharp, who bases his rankings on projected win totals rather than previous season records. The San Francisco 49ers are widely cited as having the easiest schedule, benefiting from matchups against teams with low projected win totals, such as those in the NFC South and AFC South, and additional games against last-place finishers. The New Orleans Saints also rank high for schedule ease, holding the third-easiest slate, which could help them compete despite recent rebuilding efforts. The Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans similarly appear among the top teams with favorable schedules, potentially aiding the Bills' playoff hopes and the Titans' rebuilding process under a new coach. Analysts emphasize that using projected win totals offers a more accurate reflection of current team strength due to offseason changes, rather than relying on outdated metrics from previous seasons. While an easier schedule doesn't guarantee success, it may provide a crucial advantage for these teams as they pursue postseason ambitions.
