Contrary to popular opinion, the biggest threat to the Los Angeles Rams hoisting the NFC West crown this season isn’t the Seattle Seahawks but instead the Arizona Cardinals.
1st place - Rams at 8-6
2nd place - Seahawks at 8-6
3rd place - Cardinals at 7-7
4th place - 49ers dead in the water
LA plays Arizona in Week 17 followed by Seattle in Week 18. The Cardinals won their last matchup against the Rams, and LA is looking for a season sweep over the Seahawks.
The Cardinals have the most favorable schedule remaining, and it all comes down to Week 17 when they travel to LA to take on the Rams:
Cardinals remaining schedule:
Week 16: at Carolina Panthers
Week 17: at Los Angeles Rams
Week 18: vs San Francisco 49ers
The Panthers might be the most winnable game remaining of the entire slate listed.
