NFC WEST: Pre-Draft Predictions and Analysis

Note: This is a pre-draft analysis on the teams and predictions based on the new schedule release. Moshe Football understands that some of the teams records may seem too high or too low. This is due to the type of quick predictions. Moshe Football will also have after draft predictions, and post pre-season predictions (the main one that will be deeper analyzed and the one Moshe Football will stand by). So if you have any beef, save it for the later predictions.

NFC WEST

y-San Francisco 49ers 15-1

x-St. Louis Rams 10-6

x-Seattle Seahawks 10-6

Arizona Cardinals 1-15

Z= Conference Champs, Y=Division Champs, X=Playoff Spot

San Francisco 49ers

San Francisco was great last year, and they've only gotten better. Colin Kaepernick didn't even play for a full year and it is still a question on how to beat him. With over 12 draft picks and without the room to hold all of them, expect the 49ers to trade up for better players.

NOTABLE WIN: Week 13 vs St. Louis Rams - The Rams gave the 49ers some great games and trouble last year but this year the 49ers will sweep the Rams.

Notable Loss: Week 1 vs Green Bay Packers - After this loss the 49ers will go 15-0.

St. Louis Rams

This is the riskiest pick of all. St. Louis has the potential to be great or to be one of the worst teams in the NFL. People forget they had no defensive coordinator last year and with the presence of Tim Walton, the defense should finally strive to where it's potential is. Their biggest concern is not their offensive weapons. Let's be real Steven Jackson was not the same player and Amendola was too injury prone. The Rams need to address the safety position and they should be fine. Don't be surprised for them to resign Mikell after the draft.

NOTABLE WIN: Week 17 at Seattle Seahawks - The Rams will finally beat the Seahawks in that final game.

NOTABLE LOSS: Week 13 at San Francisco 49ers - The Rams will be swept by the 49ers.

Seattle Seahawks

Seahawk fans will not be happy with being third in the division, but they won't be happy unless they're first after all the smack talk they've been saying this year. 10-6 is pretty good and only one less game then they won last year. Wilson will probably have a sophomore slump as defenses will be prepared for him.

NOTABLE WIN: Week 13 vs New Orleans Saints - A very good looking win.

NOTABLE LOSS: Week 10 at Atlanta Falcons - The Seahawks don't get their revenge on the Falcons from last years playoff game.

Arizona Cardinals

Arians will be an immediate improvement as coach. However, Palmer is washed up, and with no offensive line, it's not looking good for Arizona fans.

NOTABLE WIN: Week 5 vs Carolina Panthers - The only win for Arizona.

NOTABLE LOSS: Week 11 at Jacksonville Jaguars - The loss here will give Arizona the first overall draft pick.
