  • Parity at the Top: The Rams, Seahawks, and 49ers have each captured two NFC West division titles over the last six seasons.

Los Angeles Rams (+100)

The Rams open as division favorites after making significant roster upgrades during the offseason. Head coach Sean McVay leads an elite offense powered by veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford and a receiving core featuring Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. To address defensive areas of concern, Los Angeles added All-Pro pass rusher Myles Garrett and cornerback Trent McDuffie. They traded Verse for Garrett, but that’s a clear win for the Rams, who now have one of the best defenders ever. When you look at it, they have top favorites for all three top individual NFL awards – MVP, OPOY and DPOY.

Seattle Seahawks (+205)

The defending Super Bowl champions return the vast majority of their championship core under head coach Mike Macdonald. Returning 20 of 22 starters from their Super Bowl run, Seattle’s defensive unit remains among the league’s top-rated groups. Offensively, quarterback Sam Darnold continues his partnership with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who won the NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors. Not being favorites is perfect for the Seahawks, who can work under the radar, and knowing Macdonald, that’s what he likes.

San Francisco 49ers (+305)

San Francisco enters the campaign as the primary sleeper option in the futures market. Kyle Shanahan’s squad maintains a top-tier roster ceiling when healthy, featuring an established offensive system and high-volume playmakers. But we say it again: that’s WHEN healthy, which is pretty rare. If the 49ers avoid the injury setbacks that impacted their previous campaign, their +305 price offers longshot upside in a tight three-team race at the top of the division.

Arizona Cardinals (+10000)

The Cardinals remain in a multi-year roster rebuild and open as a distant +10000 longshot. Facing a significant quality gap with the three primary contenders in the division, Arizona’s focus centers on developing young players and positioning draft capital. Them winning the NFC West equals being hit by lightning and the raging bull at the same time.
