00:00Let's set the stage right here by looking at the four teams in

00:06this division. The San Francisco 49ers, a minus 190

00:10favorite to win the divisional crown once again as they did a

00:15season ago and the season prior to that looking for three

00:19consecutive divisional championships in 2024. The

00:24second best price of any team to win any of the eight

00:27divisions around the National Football League. Only the

00:29Chiefs have a better price to win the AFC West at minus 230

00:34but just because San Francisco is such a strong favorite to

00:37win the divisional title does not mean we are not expecting

00:41some postseason contenders from the rest of this crew. The LA

00:45Rams, a playoff team once again a season ago. Win total is

00:49eight and a half minus or plus four. I don't even know what

00:54we're looking at. Plus 330 here excuse me to win the NFC West

00:57this year around. Seattle at seven to one and the Arizona

01:01Cardinals. Yes, a long price to win the NFC West at 13 to one

01:05but still maybe able to make some noise within the division

01:09and their overall record. DRS overall. You look at the NFC

01:13West big picture. What's your first thought? It's the Niners.

01:17I mean, that's the first thought that comes to mind.

01:19They should win this division but again, it is a football

01:21season. You're going to have injuries. Other teams are going

01:24to step up and also just take a look at the quarterbacks here,

01:26right? Brock for the 49ers playing for a contract this

01:29season. We expect big things from him. Los Angeles Rams

01:32Matthew Stafford veteran guy. We thought he might have been

01:34out of gas just two or three years ago. It looks like

01:36revived in that offense gets a couple of good young wide

01:39receivers and away he goes but starting the year maybe with

01:42some hamstring injuries on an already banged up guy. We know

01:46how that typically works out in some equations here. The

01:48Seattle Seahawks Gino Smith will see if he can still find

01:50his way and be a competent quarterback but maybe the

01:53biggest question mark is the Arizona Cardinals and Kyler

01:55Murray from what we're hearing is and here's what I liked

01:57about last year, Ben. We knew when he got injured that season

02:00wasn't going anywhere, right? But you wanted to see him get

02:02back late in the season. We thought maybe it was going to

02:05be, hey, play and see if we can trade you if you're healthy

02:08enough but he played his way back into the starting lineup

02:10which gave you that chance to see him on the field and get

02:13those rehabs. You know, I said the rehab is not the right

02:15word but almost like rehab snaps if you will say, you know

02:18what? Let me just get some plays here before I hit my

02:20offseason and head into it. Now, we're looking at maybe

02:23we're finding out the Kyler Murray of old, the quickness,

02:26the speed is back which is so hard to defend during a

02:29National Football League season on a week-to-week basis. You

02:32see it week-to-week there with the Baltimore Ravens. Those

02:34guys that can get out of the pocket, you say, okay, Tuesday,

02:37put in the game plan Wednesday, Thursday, and you see him

02:39Sunday, then you go back to a pocket quarterback the

02:41following week but you are expecting big things out of

02:43Marvin Harrison. So, I guess my wild card to watch out for

02:46would be the Cardinals because if we can get a good version of

02:49Kyler Murray, why can't they compete with the Seahawks and

02:51the Rams here then?
