Will the Seattle Seahawks have a winning season in 2012?
The 2012 Seattle Seahawks are not liking the computers or people who made their schedule this year.
Think it's easy to win football games in the NFL? Think again.
In mid-September, the Seahawks will host the Green Bay Packers, a team that nearly went undefeated last year. Seattle will need all of its skill to get a win versus the Pack.
Then comes October where Seattle faces the Patriots in a tough game on October 14. Then, only four days later, the meet the 49ers on October 18.
Say what? A measly three days between games? Very tough assignment for the Seahawks.
The first two months of the 2012 NFL season do not look easy for Seattle, but if they can win half of the games in those months, they might have a shot at making it to the playoffs.

Countdown to the new 49ers stadium in 2014
If you want regular updates about the stadium, check out my recent article where I describe the best online resources to get info about the stadium and is progress.
This time is certainly one of the best times ever to be a fan of the San Francisco 49ers football team. After the team's spectacular performance in 2011, there is a lot of momentum going into the 2012 NFL season. The Niners could get back to the playoffs this year and should be very competitive.
What about the 49ers upcoming games in 2012 at their current stadium in Candlestick Park? Well, you can always go to the gameday section of the 49ers website for info on the upcoming games this year.
The NFL has a lot of very good football teams and they have awesome players. So the 49ers will certainly have to work hard for every single win in 2012. True 49er fans will need to come to every game and cheer on their team as much as possible.
Which 49ers games will be the most exciting and important games in 2012?
The San Francisco 49ers had a spectacular NFL season in 2011 when Coach Harbaugh got his team's fans believing that nobody had it better than them.
But last season's 13-3 regular season record is long gone and the 2012 football season is coming up fast.
Do the 49ers have what it takes to get back to a championship game? The key to that question is to how well they do against football's greatest organizations.
Which 2012 games on the 49ers' schedule will be crucial? Here we go.
The first game of the 2012 NFL season for the Niners will be a road game against the Green Bay Packers. Come on! That is a very tough test.
Then in mid-October the Giants come to San Francisco and that'll be a very difficult game.
Lastly, in mid-December, the 49ers go and play an away game at New England. That is probably the hardest place to get a win for a visiting team.
In 2012, the San Francisco 49ers will face these three teams and the Niners will definitely need to win at least one of these important matchups.

The Big 10 conference is hard at work trying to get everyone on board in order to start getting a college football playoff system ready by 2014.

49er games in September 2012: lots of road games
Have you had a chance to check out the games the 49ers will play during their first month of the 2012 NFL season?
