NFC West Betting Prediction: 49ers Rebound to Glory!

By Point Train Consulting

Welcome to the wild and wacky world of NFC West predictions for the 2025 season, where the only sure thing is that chaos will reign supreme.

After a rollercoaster 2024, the San Francisco 49ers are poised to reclaim their throne, finishing atop the division with a 10-7 record. Yes, you read that right—down from their 12-5 dominance in 2023 with a jaw-dropping +193 point differential, only to crash to a dismal 6-11 in 2024. What happened? Injuries, of course! Key players were sidelined more often than a substitute teacher in a rowdy classroom, turning their season into a medical drama. But fear not, bettors—the 49ers are back, healthy, and facing a schedule so easy it’s like playing against a bunch of high school JV teams. With Brock Purdy leading the charge and a roster ready to rebound, they’re the division’s golden ticket. Place your bets, folks—this is their year to rise from the ashes and win the NFC West at +150!

Trailing in second place, the Los Angeles Rams limp in at 8-9, thanks to the ever-pressing question mark hovering over quarterback Matthew Stafford’s creaky back. At 37, Stafford’s spine is starting to resemble an overcooked noodle, and the Rams’ front office is quietly rehearsing their “next man up” speeches. Will he throw for 4,000 yards or spend the season on the IR list? The betting line’s at +195, but good luck figuring out if he’ll be slinging touchdowns or ice packs. It’s a gamble worthy of a Vegas buffet—plenty of potential, but you might leave hungry. Rams bet UNDER 8.5 WINS

Third place goes to the Seattle Seahawks, scraping by with a 8-9 record as the football world holds its breath to see if Sam Darnold can replicate his Minnesota magic. After a Pro Bowl nod in 2024, Darnold’s move to Seattle comes with a shaky offensive line and a receiving corps that’s more “project” than “proven.” Will he channel his inner MVP, or will he revert to the Jets-era pumpkin we all remember? At -120 odds we like Darnold UNDER 3,400.5 passing yards. This is a bet for thrill-seekers who enjoy watching a quarterback dodge defenders like a deer in headlights.

Bringing up the rear, the Arizona Cardinals remain… well, the Arizona Cardinals, stumbling to a 6-11 finish. Kyler Murray’s still running circles (and occasionally into walls), but the team’s talent pool looks more like a kiddie splash zone than a deep end. With +150 odds (Under 7.5 Wins), betting on Arizona is like betting on a cactus to win a beauty pageant—possible in a surreal dream, but don’t hold your breath. They’re the division’s lovable underdog, destined to keep us entertained with their predictable unpredictability.

So, there you have it—your NFC West betting slip! The 49ers’ health-driven resurgence, Stafford’s spinal saga, Darnold’s Seattle experiment, and Arizona’s eternal “next year” promise make this NFC West race a comedy of errors. Grab your popcorn, place your bets, and enjoy the show!

Seattle Seahawks Preview | ASAwins NFL Win Totals

ASA’s NFC WEST WIN TOTAL PROJECTION

Seattle Seahawks – UNDER 7.5 Wins (+115)

The Seahawks finished last season with a record of 9-8 but they had a negative point differential (-38) and they were outgained by nearly 50 YPG.  Based on those stats alone, Seattle should have won only 7 games last season and that’s where we think they land in 2024 (7 or fewer wins).  They benefited from a positive turnover margin last season and only won 3 games by more than a TD in 2023 vs the 3 of the worst teams in the NFL, Carolina (2 wins last season), Arizona (4 wins last season), and the NY Giants (6 wins last season).  Six of Seattle’s wins last year came by 4 points or fewer or in OT and they were outgained in 5 of those tight 6 wins.  The offense finished 17th in points scored and 22nd in total yardage and we look for the Seahawks to regress on that side of the ball.  The offensive line is ranked 31st (out of 32 teams) by PFF heading into the season and QB Geno Smith took a big step back last season.  Smith had 10 fewer TD’s a year ago compared to 2022 and his completion percentage dropped by 5%.  They had very little running game last season (92 YPG rushing) and operating behind a poor Oline could be problematic for Smith and Company.  The defense allowed the 9th most points in 2023 along with the 3rd most yards gained by opponents despite finishing with a winning record.  Seattle has a new head coach, Mike McDonald, who has never been a head man at any level, so some growing pains are expected.  His coordinators are Ryan Grubb (OC) who has never coached in the NFL and Aden Durdy (DC) who has never been a DC in the NFL.  They faced the 11th most difficult schedule according to PFF and we look for this Seattle team to struggle in 2024.

NFC WEST TOTAL WIN BEST BET – Over 9.5 Seattle Seahawks

No matter what the circumstances entering the season, Seattle always seems to get to at least 10 wins.  In fact, since Russell Wilson took over at QB in 2012, the Seahawks have failed to win 10 games just ONCE and that was a 9-7 season in 2017.  They have averaged 10.9 wins per season during Wilson’s 9-year run as starting QB.  Seattle won the tough NFC West last year with a 12-4 record and it was no fluke as they led the division in point differential at +88.  The offense will be very good again with Wilson and his playmakers on the outside (Metcalfe & Lockett) who are among the best in the NFC.  They have the ability to outscore teams when the defense comes up short which it did a lot early last season.  The Seahawks scored 30 or more points in 6 of their first 8 games when the defense was playing poorly.  Despite the defense, they were 6-2 in those games.  The defense improved by leaps and bounds in the 2nd half of the season allowing just 15.8 PPG after giving up an average of 30.3 PPG over their first 8 games.  If the defense can pick up where they left off, this team will be very good.  We have them currently favored in 10 games this season and their underdog roles will all be small numbers (most +3 or less).  All of their road games are winnable and the Hawks face 3 of the worst teams in the NFL in non-division play (Jags, Lions, and Texans).  As we mentioned, Seattle and double digit wins have been the norm for almost a decade.  Now with an extra game added in the regular season, we see no reason this team doesn’t get to at last 10 wins again in 2021.
