Detroit Lions! or none cause there might be a lockout
The 49ers will play their division rivals (Seattle, St. Louis, Arizona) twice. They will play the NFC South (Carolina, Atlanta, New Orleans, Tampa Bay) They will play the AFC South (Indianapolis, Tennessee, Houston, Jacksonville) They will play the NFC East and NFC North teams that match the Niners finishing position in their division - i.e. if the Niners win the NFC West they play the NFC East and NFC North division champs.
That answer is determined by how the teams in the NFC finish!!!!!!!!! They will play each team in their division (NFC South) once at home and once away - and then play the other teams from the NFC divisions - according to where they finished in their division races!!!!!!! SO first place teams play first place teams - and last place teams play last place teams - and so on!!!!
They play the NFC East and AFC North in 2011.
An NFL team, as in almost every other organized sport chooses the "starting" players based on talent, and ability shown through practice or other evaluation. Sometimes if a player has violated certain rules and regulations set by the coach, organization, or NFL the player will not be allowed to play in the game. Also, even tho certain members of the team may not be listed as starting, they could gain the opportunity to play later in the game as substitutes, as for an injured player, or for use in a specific situation that would require the skills of such player.
The National Football League has a proven formula for its regular-season schedules. Let's use the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks as an example. In 2014, the Seahawks will play their three NFC West rivals twice -- at home and away. That means Seattle will host games against the San Francisco 49ers, the Arizona Cardinals and the St. Louis Rams. And they will play road games against the three teams. In 2014, the teams of the NFC West will play the teams of the AFC West, so Seattle will host home games against the Denver Broncos and the Oakland Raiders and play on the road against the San Diego Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs. According to the rotating schedule the Seahawks will play the AFC North teams in 2015, the AFC East teams in 2016 and the AFC South teams in 2017. In 2014, NFC West teams will play the NFC East teams, so Seattle will host games against the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants and play on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins. In 2015, the Seahawks will play the NFC North teams and in 2016, they will meet the NFC South teams. The rest of the Seahawks' 2014 schedule will be against NFC teams that finished first in their respective divisions in 2013, just as Seattle did. During the regular season, they will play a home game against the Green Bay Packers and meet the Carolina Panthers on the road.

The NFC North The Packers are part of the NFC North Division in the NFC Conference. They are in the same division as the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions, and Chicago Bears.
Oh, what a lovely question! NFC and AFC teams typically do play each other in the regular season, but not very often. Most of the games are played within each conference to determine playoff standings. When they do play, it's always a special treat to see different teams come together on the field.
Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions, and Green Bay Packers
The all-stars from the AFC against the all-stars from the NFC.
