2023 NFC West Division Gambling Analysis
The 49ers dominated the NFC West last year, finishing with an impressive 13-4 record. The Seahawks took second place at 9-8, while the Rams struggled at 5-12, and the Cardinals dwelled in the basement at 4-13.
San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers had a lackluster start to their season, plagued by injuries that ended some players’ campaigns. They stumbled with a 3-4 record before their bye week. However, everything turned around when they embarked on a spectacular 10-game winning streak. They surpassed their 2021 record of 10-7 after defeating the Commanders in Week 16.
49ers Offense
Brock Purdy seized the starting QB role in San Francisco after Garoppolo and Trey Lance went down. The final pick of the 2022 NFL draft introduced himself to the league and now reigns as the de-facto starting QB for San Fran in 2023. He has a strong supporting cast with McCaffrey, Mitchell, Samuel, Aiyuk, McCloud III, and George Kittle. Their offensive line is top-notch.
Their offense ranked fifth in total offense, averaging an impressive 365 yards per game. They also had a commendable scoring ability, placing sixth with an average of 26.5 points per game.
49ers D
Defensively, they were unmatched, securing the top spot in the league for both total defense and defensive scoring. They allowed a mere 306 yards per game and a paltry 16.3 points per game. Their defensive line is one of the best in the NFL.
49ers Schedule
It’s worth noting that the 49ers have the 15th easiest schedule in the league. With their 13-win performance last season, they have a favorable situation. The NFC West still belongs to the 49ers, and they are ready to take on all challengers. I predict they’ll achieve 11-12 wins.
Seattle Seahawks
Pete Carroll and John Schneider form a perfect duo, and they’re back together to make another run at the division crown. Under their leadership, the Seahawks have achieved remarkable success, making the playoffs nine times, winning their division title five times, reaching consecutive Super Bowl appearances, and ultimately winning Super Bowl XLVIII against the Broncos.
The 2022 Seahawks proved to be superior to their 2021 counterparts, securing the last NFC wild card spot with a 9-8 record after a one-year absence from the playoffs.
Seahawks Offense
Geno Smith, fresh off an impressive comeback season, has new offensive weapons in 2023. The run game gets a boost with Charbonnet joining the RB room alongside rookie Kenneth Walker III. DeeJay Dallas is also back. Smith will be throwing to Lockett and DK Metcalf, with first-round draft pick Smith-Njigba making an instant impact. The Hawks hope to have a healthy Dee Eskridge back as well. Fant and Dissly return at TE. The offensive line in Seattle is highly impressive, with Cross and Lucas at tackle, both on the path to becoming pro bowlers.
Seahawks D
Future Hall of Fame linebacker Bobby Wagner returns to lead the defense for another shot at success in Seattle. This defense has the potential to be a top 5-10 unit in 2023. There are lockdown players all over the field. The big question marks lie with injured players like Woolen, Brooks, and Adams who need to get back on the field as soon as possible. The additions of Bush, Love, Dre’Mont Jones, Jarran Reed, and first-round cornerback Devon Witherspoon add depth and talent.
Seahawks Schedule
The Seahawks have a challenging road schedule in 2023, and they also face exciting matchups against the Bengals, Giants, Ravens, and Lions. They should be able to secure 10 wins.
Los Angeles Rams
In 2022, the Rams entered the season as reigning Super Bowl champions, aiming to become the first team to secure back-to-back Super Bowl victories since the 2004 Patriots. They started decently with a 2-1 record but injuries derailed their season, finishing at 5-12.
Their winning percentage of .294 is the lowest achieved by any previous defending championship NFL team. Interesting fact: The Rams had the third-highest number of players placed on the NFL IR, only trailing the Titans and Broncos.
Rams Defense
My million-dollar question for 2023 is how the Rams will improve on their 5-12 record, especially considering their weakened defense. The loss of key players without adequate replacements leaves the Rams vulnerable. Trades involving Ramsey, releases of Floyd and Wagner, and departures of Long Jr, Scott, and Taylor Rapp create a possibility of defensive struggles throughout the season.
Rams Schedule
Let’s talk about the 2023 schedule. The Rams face one of the toughest challenges in the NFL, ranking 9th in terms of difficulty. On top of that, they endure a grueling stretch of 9 consecutive away games, with 6 of those matchups against 2022 playoff teams.
I’m skeptical about a significant improvement compared to their 2022 performance. The recovery of pivotal players like Stafford, Kupp, Jefferson, and Donald will be crucial. The Rams need playmakers to emerge from all parts of the roster. I foresee 6-8 wins at best.
Arizona Cardinals
The Jonathan Gannon era begins in Arizona. Gannon brings valuable experience from his assistant coaching roles with the Atlanta Falcons, Titans, Vikings, Colts, and Eagles. He inherits Kyler Murray and a Cardinals team that has room for improvement. Injuries and inconsistencies plagued both the offense and defense throughout the 2022 season. The Cardinals suffered a frustrating 7-game losing streak, marking their third consecutive late-season collapse.
Cardinals Offense
My million-dollar question for the Cards’ offense is whether Deandre Hopkins will be on the roster when the season starts. The Cards will need significant contributions from Conner, Brown, Moore, Pascal, Ertz, and Keaontay Ingram to achieve respectability in 2023.
Cardinals D
On defense, the Cardinals have lost J.J. Watt, Allen, and Golden this offseason. They’ve been replaced by draft picks Garrett Williams and BJ Ojulari. While they are promising picks, it remains to be seen if they can make an impact. The Cardinals defense has more question marks. Is Budda Baker content in Arizona? Do they have any impact players in the defensive front? Only time will tell.
Cardinals Schedule
The Cardinals face a challenging schedule in 2023, ranking 11th in difficulty. Their first eight weeks pit them against six teams that made the playoffs in 2022, including a daunting stretch of four consecutive playoff opponents starting in Week 2. Currently, the Cardinals lack a dependable starting quarterback due to Murray’s ongoing recovery from a torn ACL suffered in December. Considering these factors, it’s unlikely they have the caliber of a playoff team at the moment. I predict a maximum of 5 wins.
