I started doing this last year and people seemed to enjoy it so I figured it'd be a good thing to continue.
Seahawks 0-0 @ Rams 0-0
Saints 0-0 @ Cardinals 0-0
Vikings 0-0 @ 49ers 0-0
Week 1 is finally here, and boy have we had a lot of change in the division specifically with the 49ers. They are still a talented team but I think its going to take a few weeks to really see where this team is at. But no doubt they have taken a step backwards in regards to coaching and overall talent. I think Minnesota take this one and the 49ers are handed a home loss. There are just too many new pieces and too much change to come out firing week 1 and for them to be on the same page.
The Cardinals, I just don't really feel great about the team we are fielding and then again I never have. I am always waiting for the other shoe to drop with this team. The ILB position was not addressed which means we again will be sending 6 on every play while putting our CB's who have had some talent loss on an island. Much like last year. I don't think thats going to pay off as much this year as it did last. The offense however has been clearly upgraded. We will be missing two OL starters due to injury and suspension for week 1 against the Saints. The Saints have absolutely zero depth at the CB position, which I expect Arians to exploit. This is a great matchup for us offensively. However Brees is on the other side and he is always dangerous. However without Jimmy Graham we could see a much different offense on the field. I believe the Cardinals will win this one at home in saying that.
The Seahawks and Rams should be a great game to watch if you like defense. I happen to enjoy watching defense more than offense so I am looking forward to it as usual. The Rams DL could very possibly destroy the Seahawks OL in the first round of live action. However, I would expect that the Seahawks come in and possibly try to get the screen game going or some quick passes on three step drops to try and slow down the pass rush and get into some sort of rhythm. Not to mention Wilsons ridiculous ability to spin away from defenders. The main issue will be for the Rams to be able to move the ball. The Seahawks obviously have the LOB but there front 7 is just as dangerous as the Rams just not as well known. It is a suffocating defense, and Foles is an unknown right now. It is a 10AM start which will help the Rams out as a lot of West Coast teams start slow, and it appears that Kam will not be participating in this game either which is something to watch for. However I believe Petes team will win being the more disciplined team.
After week one I think this is what the division will look like? What do you guys think.
