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?
