I think it's safe to say that the NFC West comes down to us vs the Rams. We all know that we beat the Rams in their house, so even though we are a game back, we still have the ability to win our games to win the division. The Rams need us to lose or they need to beat us when we play each other if they want the title. So I thought I'd delve into the remaining schedule.
Our schedule looks to be a little bit easier than the Rams schedule. Our injuries are piling up a bit, but we don't appear to have quite as difficult the path as the rams do at this point.
Rams schedule
@ Vikings (1st place)
Saints (1st place)
@ Cardinals (division game 3rd place)
Eagles (1st place)
@ Seahawks (division game 2nd place)
@ Titans (1st place technically tied but has the current tiebreaker)
49ers (division game 4th place)
Seahawks schedule
Falcons (3rd place)
@ 49ers (division game 4th place)
Eagles (1st place)
@ Jaguars (2nd place technically tied for 1st but lost their home game with Titans already)
Rams (division game 1st place)
@ Cowboys (2nd place)
Cardinals (Division Game 3rd place)
In green I've shown the same opponents. The only difference there is we flip home/away for the Cardinals/49ers games. This is pretty much a wash. We both play the Eagles at Home.
In Blue is the game where we play each other. Probably the biggest game on either team's remaining schedule unless one of the teams tanks it.
The remaining 3 games show the Rams playing 3 first place teams and 2 of those are away, while we are playing 2 second place teams away and 1 third place team at home.
It's the NFL and anything can happen, but as tough as both schedules are, I think the Rams schedule is just a little bit tougher than ours, which makes for a very fun, but stressful back half of the season.
