The NFC West might just be the best all-around division in the NFL this year, with all four teams setting their sights on the playoffs and beyond. The Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals, and San Francisco 49ers all believe that they are in or can start a winning era of football this season.

With the past two winners of the NFC Championship Game in the division, there is good reason for optimism. The 49ers and Rams each lost the Super Bowl in the last two years and are looking to make it back to the big stage and show that they can turn the corner and win it all.

The Seahawks went to back to back Super Bowls in 2014 and 2015 splitting the results, yet many only remember the inability of the team to score from the one-yard line.

In Arizona, the Cardinals certainly are a team on the rise. With former NFL Rookie of the Year Kyler Murray at quarterback, this team has made moves to push them closer to win-now mode.

Each game in this NFC West is going to be a battle and the best record against teams within the division is likely to be the winner at the end of the year.
