Who Will Win the NFC West?

[St. Francisco]

Coming down the final stretch, the NFL's worst division is still up for grabs, with the distinct possibility of a 7-9 team winning it all. Who's your pick? Here's the remaining schedule for all four teams:


Seattle Seahawks (5-6)

vs. Carolina (1-10)
@ San Francisco (4-7)
vs. Atlanta (9-2)
@ Tampa Bay (7-4)
vs. St. Louis (5-6)


St. Louis Rams (5-6)

@ Arizona (3-8)
@ New Orleans (8-3)
vs. Kansas City (7-4)
vs. San Francisco (4-7)
@ Seattle (5-6)


San Francisco 49ers (4-7)

@ Green Bay (7-4)
vs. Seattle (5-6)
@ San Diego (6-5)
@ St. Louis (5-6)
vs. Arizona (3-8)


Arizona Cardinals (3-8)

vs. St. Louis (5-6)
vs. Denver (3-8)
@ Carolina (1-10)
vs. Dallas (3-8)
@ San Francisco (4-7)


Had the Cardinals won tonight, they would've been my pick to take it all...look at that friggin' schedule, it's a cake walk if you have even a halfway decent team. But the way things are looking for Arizona, they'll be lucky to win two of their last five games. Seattle is a hot pick right now, but I don't think they're as hot as everyone thinks. They've lost four of their last five games by double digits. Really, the Seahawks' playoff hopes rest on their performance against the Niners and Rams. My Niners are still very much in the hunt...if we can finish with wins in our next three division games and surprise either the Packers or Chargers, an 8-8 record with a 5-1 division record could take this title. Realistically, I'm thinking 7-9. So, my vote goes to the Rams. I think they can upset either the Saints or Chiefs, and win at least two of their three division games to finish 8-8.

Who Cares?

Forget Arizona, they stink and are 2 games back with 5 left.

San Fran is doomed by @GB and @SD. I don't think they can sweep the three division games, so that's 10 losses minimum, which eliminates them.

It comes down to Sea & StL. Seattle gets blown out a lot, and the Rams tend to stay in games against everyone. SEA will lose to ATL, and the Rams should lose to NO. The Rams have a slight advantage of a head to head win, so they can be a game behind going into the Week 17 game @SEA.

This. I just hope somehow, someway the Bucs land the 5th seed in the playoffs.

That's the same exact matchup I want for the Rams. Cool.

:nope:

Even had Arizona won last night, they still have to finish ahead of Seattle since they were swept by the Seahawks.

San Fran has no shot. They could easily lose their next 4.

It's between Seattle and St. Louis and in all probability both teams will be sitting at 7-8 going into the Week 17 matchup.

My pick is Seattle, given I'm a Seahawk homer :smug:

Agree, that's probably the only way Seattle/St. Louis moves on

 

[NAHSTE]

The Rams are the best team in that division. SAMWAGON!

 

[Juggernaut]

i want to see a 7-9 team win it the division, prove just how shitty this division is now

 

[young2rice]

49ers at 7-9

 

[KillaK]

I think the Rams take it but I wouldn't be surprised if Seattle or San Fran goes. Seeing a 7-9 team in there would be amazing.

 

[CCBrink]

I say the Rams make it to a playoffs with a starting Rookie QB :smug:

SN: Rams only need to win two more games in order to meet my realistic prediction.

 

[EmpireWF]

Rams with a 8-8 record. :yep:

 

[ralaw]

The Rams have the best team, best QB and easiest record, so I pick them.

 

[dave]

Green Bay, San Diego and on the road in St. Louis.
San Francisco's fucked.

 

[MrBill]

I think the race for the one and done division title will be won by the Rams.

 

[BigBucs]

Possibly. We will see in a few weeks....

:smug:

Lol at 5-6 teams holding out hope.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Lol at 5-6 teams holding out hope.

"LOL" all you want, the Rams have gone 6-42 the last three years, so if you think any Rams fan should apologize or not feel good about being 5-6 and having a shot at making the playoffs, you're crazy.

I really don't give a fuck if we go 6-10 and win this thing. I haven't seen the playoffs since 2004. To the two teams that win 10+ games and miss out, better luck next year, but i'm not about to feel bad after the shit football i've suffered thorugh the last 3 years.

 

[ram29jackson]

poor Tampa may have better record and not get in haha...this may happen allot if the season is extended 2 games= playoff teams with sub .500 records

I think I delivered that message the wrong way. I feel you, believe me I do. You have asshats like leaf and hass around here who think I shouldnt have shit to say about my team now that we have a 7-4 record after being 3-13 last season. Im not saying dont hope for a playoff spot and root for your team, take what you can get. I was simply LOLing at the fact that 5-6 teams are legitimately holding out hope to win their division. It really is quite sad whether you are a fan of a team in that division or not.

Really is a shame. I think a rule should be put into place saying if a division winner isnt at least .500 they shouldnt make the playoffs. 7-9 may win that division. What will be a major slap in the face is us sweeping that division and still getting snubbed buy one of them garbage ass teams.
