Arizona Cardinals in NFL 'Sweet 16,' considered early favorites in NFC West

With great Internet sense, using the term "sweet sixteen" or "sweet 16" is good this time of year. For NFL.com, Adam Schein created the NFL version of the sweet sixteen, giving his early favorite and top contender for each of the eight NFL divisions.

The Arizona Cardinals were named the favorite in the NFC West, with the Seattle Seahawks as their top contender.

I wrote it last week: The Cardinals' deal for Chandler Jones was a Super Bowl-caliber transaction for the great Steve Keim. And Evan Mathis was a quality addition to the O-line, which lost Jonathan Cooper in the Jones trade.
