NFC West Best Bet for 2026
Best Favorite Bet to win the NFC West: Seattle Seahawks (+160)
The Seahawks just won the Super Bowl, vanquishing their rival Rams along the way. Now they are not even the favorites to win the division? They have some work to do to keep the secondary together, but they have plenty of cap space to keep guys like Josh Jobe and Riq Woolen around while improving in other key areas. Losing Klint Kubiak hurts, but the Seahawks have everything they need to make another run.

Best Sleeper Bet to win the NFC West: San Francisco 49ers (+250)
The 49ers will stay healthy at some point, right? Assuming they don't once again fall victim to the power substation, we know San Francisco will be in the mix, and they have enough ammo to make a run at a few free agents this offseason. They could also get a good haul from trading Mac Jones after he filled in admirably in 2025. The division is the toughest in the league, but the 49ers can overcome the Rams and Seahawks if the injury gods call off the plague.
