The Los Angeles Rams are the NFC West favorite, as I think most would expect. They had a huge rebound year last season, and added some big name talent. It would be an upset if they did not win the division.
Most divisional gambling odds we see are for team X to win the division. However, the folks at BetOnline.ag are offering a different spin on those odds. They are offering odds for exact divisional finish. Here’s what they are offering for the San Francisco 49ers:
1st Place +300 (bet $100, win $300)
2nd Place +150 (bet $100, win $150)
3rd Place +200 (bet $100, win $200)
4th Place +700 (bet $100, win $700)
Here are all the odds for the other three NFC West teams. They line up about how you would expect. The Cardinals are the favorites to finish in the cellar, while the Rams are the favorites to win the division. The Seahawks and and 49ers are tougher to call, and so the odds reflect it.
The easy order prediction would be Rams, 49ers, Seahawks, Cardinals. If you were going to shake it up, what other order would you go with?
