Ranking the toughest and easiest NFL schedules in 2025 originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The 2025 NFL schedule consists of 272 games over 18 weeks, with teams vying for playoff spots facing varying levels of difficulty. The New York Giants face the hardest schedule due to tough matchups in the NFC East and against strong divisions like the NFC North and AFC West, with 2024 opponents’ win percentages ranking them highest. Conversely, the San Francisco 49ers benefit from the easiest schedule, playing against mostly last-place teams from 2024 and weaker divisions, potentially aiding their recovery from a challenging previous season.
