The Los Angeles Rams (4-5) are in the thick of the NFC West standings. They are currently tied for last place in the division, but a win this week against the New England Patriots (3-7) will keep them in contention for the win or sneak in as a wild card team.
Arizona Cardinals (6-4) – GOODBYE
The blazing Cardinals will enter their bye week on a four-game winning streak. They haven’t faced a divisional opponent during this stretch, but have looked extremely impressive, averaging just 26.3 points per game during their winning streak.
A well-deserved week off will allow them to prepare for a Week 12 divisional game against the Seattle Seahawks (4-5). A win next week would put them comfortably in control in the West with a 7-4 record.
Seattle Seahawks (4-5) vs. San Francisco 49ers (5-4)
This is a deciding game for the Seahawks. A loss would likely eliminate them from contention for a playoff spot and mark their third straight loss. It was chaotic offensive production that led to serious inconsistencies across the board.
With the return of All-Pro Rusher Christian McCaffrey last week, the 49ers are only gaining momentum and getting progressively healthier. Much like previous 49ers teams, they got off to a slow start with a 2-3 record this season and are playing their best football at the most crucial time of the season.
The 49ers will win at home Sunday afternoon, improving to 6-4 and tied for first in the division with the Cardinals. They are currently the favorites to win the division due to their success in the second half of the season. The Seahawks will fall to 4-6 and be last in the NFC West standings.
Los Angeles Rams (4-5) vs. New England Patriots (3-7)
The Rams have an opportunity to correct several mistakes following a brutal loss to the Dolphins at home last week. The offense will likely make several adjustments that will help quarterback Matthew Stafford receive more protection while having more scoring success.
They’ll compare to the worst overall offense in the league, as the Patriots average 271.1 yards per game and have the second-lowest scoring offense at just 16 points per game. Their offensive line has allowed 32 sacks this season, which will be a deciding factor in whether the Rams win.
In resounding fashion, the Rams would win by double digits and improve to 5-5, returning to a .500 record. A win would put them in second place in the division and keep them competitive for a chance to come from behind and win the NFC West title or sneak in as a wild card team like last year.
