NFC West Predictions: The Seahawks Soar To Division Title

1. Seattle Seahawks (12-5)*

2. San Francisco 49ers (11-6)*

3. Los Angeles Rams (7-10)

4. Arizona Cardinals (2-15)

The Seattle Seahawks shocked the world by playing their way into January football in 2022. Now, after another successful offseason by general manager John Schneider, the Hawks are poised to go on an even deeper run. An NFC West title requires Geno Smith to continue his ascension and the defense to generate more pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

As for the 49ers, don’t feel too sorry for them. At 11-6, the team will receive a wildcard entry into the playoffs. The Rams, another recent Super Bowl attendee, have too many red flags, even on a roster that features Matthew Stafford and Aaron Donald. And for the Cardinals? Well, one look at their depth chart tells the full story there.
