## Resource

The NFC West is a fierce competition with the Cardinals, Seahawks, 49ers, and Rams vying for supremacy. Last seasons close division race is expected to repeat, with the Seahawks benefiting from their rivals challenging schedules. The 49ers face a tough four-game stretch against the Rams, Chargers, Chiefs, and Eagles. The Rams, on the other hand, have a grueling four-game run starting in week twelve, featuring the Packers, Chiefs, 49ers, and Cowboys. The Rams schedule is further complicated by a mid-season Wednesday game, potentially impacting their performance against top-tier opponents. Despite these challenges, the Seahawks remain strong contenders for another division title and deep playoff run. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
