NFL Football: Early Thoughts on the NFC West

Without any real scouting, I will give an early reading on the NFC West.

Both the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and the runners-up San Francisco 49ers, call the NFC West home.

The Arizona Cardinals battled for the playoffs until the final week of the season and  the St. Louis Rams were improved: both NFC teams.

It’s a tough division, and the additional “first place schedule” has made the projected wins total for the so called dynasty in the making Seattle Seahawks, only “ten and a half.”

Will they win 11 games or more? That is why they play: to answer those and other questions.

My late friend, the football expert Beano Cook, would have predicted that Seattle will win less than 11 games. I can hear him now saying “they are very good, but that schedule is BRUTAL.” My early feeling, is that Seattle will be very good, but they will struggle to reach a (10-6) record.
