NFC West
San Francisco 49ers 11-2
San Francisco won a class game against the Saints and they had to do it because the last two weeks of their season are pretty tough. The Rams won’t be an easy out and will be looking to sneak into the playoffs. Facing the Seahawks in Seattle won’t be easy either. The Niners could still end up 13-3.
Remaining Games: Falcons, Rams, @Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks 10-3
The Seahawks lost to the Rams and their weaknesses were kind of exposed. If they can’t run the football, the passing game struggles. Russell Wilson can’t do everything — although sometimes it sure seems like he can. Seattle will face two teams that have no shot at the playoffs before facing off against the Niners in what could be a battle for the NFC West.
Remaining Games: @Panthers, Cardinals, Niners
Los Angeles Rams 8-5
The Rams are rounding into form, but it could be too late. They may have to win every single game remaining on their schedule to make the playoffs. The Cowboys look beatable, but the game in San Francisco could decide the Niners season.
Remaining Games: @Cowboys, @Niners, Cardinals
