The San Francisco 49ers found out their 2012 NFL schedule on Tuesday and, in a move reflective of their success last season, the team has been gifted quite a few games in primetime this season. Hopefully Alex Smith and the rest of San Francisco's success last season wasn't a fluke, as the schedule-makers did them no favors when slating this year's games.

The 49ers will open up with a three-game slate against the NFC North, two of which will come on the road, before heading into their Week 9 bye with a pair of primetime games against the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals.
