The Seattle Seahawks enter the Week 10 bye at 4-5. They reside in last place in a tight-knit NFC West division that features the surprising 5-4 Arizona Cardinals sitting atop the division. The resurgent Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers are 4-4 apiece. With the Seahawks enjoying some down-time, here’s your NFC West rooting guide for the weekend.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers over San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers travel to Raymond James Stadium for a road date with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield’s squad is 4-5 and lost an overtime heartbreaker to the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs in primetime in Week 9. The 49ers, who are expecting superstar running back Christian McCaffrey to make his debut, are considered slight favorites.
New York Jets over Arizona Cardinals
The aforementioned Cardinals are sitting atop the division and will host the New York Jets on Sunday. Aaron Rodgers’ struggling Jets are fresh off a big-time win in primetime over the playoff-bound Houston Texans. A Cardinals loss would cause another shake-up in the NFC West standings.
Miami Dolphins over Los Angeles Rams
The 4-4 Rams have claimed victory in three consecutive contests, including wins over the Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings. This week, they’re hosting the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. The 2-6 Dolphins have been considerably more effective since getting a healthy Tua Tagovailoa back at quarterback.
