Strength of schedule: T-12th lowest [opponents' record in 2020: 132-138-2 (.489)]
Prime-time games: Five
Short weeks: Two
The 49ers couldn't have asked for a better early road slate. Sure, every team would like to start the season at home, but San Francisco heads to Detroit and Philadelphia -- two teams that, on paper, are among those with the longest road back to relevance -- in the first two weeks before returning home for battles against Green Bay (a 2019 NFC title game rematch) and Seattle to close the first month. From there, San Francisco visits Arizona before the bye week. They have winnable road games around midseason against Chicago and the rebuilding Jaguars. The Niners also have favorable draws against Cincinnati and Houston in the final month of the regular season. The biggest hurdle in that final stretch: a date with Tennessee on a short week in Nashville. Overall, it's a balanced slate with a friendly start and doesn't really put San Francisco in a tough stretch, save for Weeks 3-5.

"Flexible scheduling" will be used in Weeks 11-18. Additionally, in Weeks 5-10, flexible scheduling may be used in no more than two weeks. In Weeks 5-17, the schedule lists the games tentatively set for Sunday Night Football on NBC. Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game would be moved to an afternoon start time.
For Week 18, the Sunday night game will be announced no later than six days prior to January 9. The schedule does not list a Sunday night game in Week 18, but an afternoon game with playoff implications will be moved to that time slot. Flexible scheduling ensures quality matchups in all Sunday time slots in those weeks and gives "surprise" teams a chance to play their way into primetime.

6. Dallas Mavericks (–)
Record: 41-29
Games Ahead (7th): 1.0
*Holds tiebreaker vs. LAL
Games Back (5th): —
*POR holds tiebreaker
Last Result: 125-107 W vs. NOP
Next Opponent: vs. TOR on Friday
The Mavericks, demolished by 29 points in a Tuesday loss to Memphis, turned around to KO the Pelicans right out of the postseason mix. The Lakers hung on against the Rockets to keep the pressure on, though the Mavs retain a one-game lead and the head-to-head tiebreaker with only two games left for each squad.
7. Los Angeles Lakers (–)
Record: 40-30
Games Ahead (11th): 8.0
Games Back (6th): 1.0
*POR, DAL hold tiebreakers
Last Result: 124-122 W vs. HOU
Next Opponent: @ IND on Saturday
Another not pretty one, but they knocked off the Rockets without LeBron James or Anthony Davis. Winning with defense, they could well be bolstered by LeBron’s return as they challenge offense-starved Indiana and a New Orleans team that now has nothing to play for. They’ll need help, but stand to help themselves.
8. Golden State Warriors (—)
Record: 37-33
Games Ahead (11th): 5.5
Games Back (6th): 4.0
Last Result: 122-116 W vs. PHO
Next Opponent: vs. NOP on Friday
After back-to-back victories over the best teams in the West, the Warriors now face the Pelicans — after their elimination from the Play-In race. Stay ahead of Memphis, and it’s a collision course with the Lakers to see who goes on to a likely matchup with Phoenix.
9. Memphis Grizzlies (—)
Record: 36-33
Games Ahead (11th): 5.0
Games Back (6th): 4.5
Last Result: 133-104 W vs. DAL
Next Opponent: vs. SAC on Thursday
The Grizzlies clinched a Play-In berth against the Mavericks on Tuesday, and now sights are set on 8th, where a likely matchup with the Lakers would provide the first of two chances to make it out of the Play-In and into the postseason.
10. San Antonio Spurs (–)
Record: 33-36
Games Ahead (11th): 2.0
*SAS holds tiebreaker
Games Back (6th): 7.5
Last Result: 128-116 L @ BKN
Next Opponent: @ NYK on Thursday
The Spurs traveled to the Big Apple and caught a bad one with James Harden’s return. Even off the bench, it sparked the Nets to a nearly wire-to-wire win, leaving San Antonio likely relegated to 10th and within range of … Sacramento! New Orleans is out, so one challenger down
