It was just a mere two years ago when the NFC West saw two of its members battling it out for the right to be the NFC representative in Super Bowl 48. What has changed since then was the downfall of the San Francisco 49ers and the uprising of the Arizona Cardinals. The Seattle Seahawks are still considered by some as the bully of the division and the Rams traded in the St. Louis Arch for the Hollywood sign as they kick off a new chapter in Los Angeles this season.

Speaking of the Rams, they now have their backfield for the next decade or so with 2015 Offensive Rookie of the Year running back Todd Gurley now joining 2016 first overall pick quarterback Jared Goff. The Niners were stocked with talent when they made their appearance in the 2013 NFC Championship Game and now they are leaning on former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly for the answers.

The Cardinals may have taken the crown as the league’s most talented team and the addition of DE Chandler Jones has the team as a considerable Super Bowl favorite. As far as the Seahawks go, the post Marshawn Lynch era begins. Here are the NFC West predictions.

Next: San Francisco 49ers
