Both teams face an uphill battle in the NFC West when considering the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals are early favorites to make a Super Bowl run in the NFC, but anything seems possible at this point when it comes to the division. While the Rams own one of the league’s top defenses, and hope to see an improvement on offense with Case Keenum entering the season as the starter at quarterback, the 49ers are going through some changes of their own.
Not only is Chip Kelly entering his first season as head coach with San Francisco, but the team will be going with Blaine Gabbert as their quarterback over Colin Kaepernick to start the season.
