The NFC in general is not tough. Like the worst case for the 49ers is what? Vs. Seahawks, vs. Vikings, @ Eagles? That is hardly a tough path. Meanwhille the Bills will have to go vs. Bengals, vs. Chiefs (same as the Bengals with Bills/Chiefs). Even the Chiefs will have to deal with a frisky Jags or Chargers team before playing Buffalo/Cincy.
