Conclusion

The NFC West is going to be a brawl for the top spot next season. The Rams, Seahawks and 49ers all have a legitimate expectation to be the best in the league, and even Arizona can turn some heads if it can find a solution at quarterback.

No doubt the arms race will explode during the draft and free agency and it will be time to revisit these records again, but for now I predict it to be a good, close battle with the Rams just edging out on top.

Final Predictions:

Rams: 12-4
49ers: 10-6
Seahawks: 8-8
Cardinals: 4-12

Buckle yourselves in, it’s going to be a wild ride.
