The Seahawks’ NFC West odds have deteriorated the most. They went into the season expected to give the 49ers a serious push, but that hasn’t materialized on the football field.
Due to the 3-10 Cardinals statistically out of the NFC West picture, they are not included in the updated odds to win the NFC West at BetUS.

San Francisco 49ers (-170)
The 49ers are favored to win the NFC West and Super Bowl 58. Their Super Bowl odds have dropped since dismantling the Eagles in a 42-19 victory in Week 13. Currently, the 49ers are +325, well ahead of the second-best odds of the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs at +550.
With most teams, you can pick out positives and negatives. However, when it comes to this 49ers team, there are truly no negatives when they are healthy. They lost three consecutive games, but that was when the offense was without Deebo Samuel.
There are multiple options available for Brock Purdy when Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, and Samuel are all playing together. On the defensive side of the ball, they can get after opposing QBs with their pass rush, and are well-equipped in the secondary.
The 49ers are well on their way to winning the NFC West title.
Los Angeles Rams (+4000)
Despite the Rams’ NFC West odds shifting from +900 to +4000, it isn’t because they’ve been a particularly bad team this season. The 49ers are just so far ahead of the rest of the NFC West teams that the Rams are +4000.
There were several pundits critical of the Rams entering the season, but they’ve looked good at times this season. The Rams’ season win total was 6.5 games in the preseason. They are only a win away from eclipsing preseason expectations at sports betting sites.
Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp’s health was a significant question mark. Additionally, the defense was set to regress after losing key members of the secondary. Has anyone been great? Well, rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua has been exceptional, but the team as a whole has just been fine.
Mediocre is better than their preseason expectations, but it won’t be enough to catch the 49ers.
Seattle Seahawks (+12500)
With the Cardinals off the board, the Seahawks have the worst odds to win the NFC North. Despite having the same record as the Rams, at 6-6, the Seahawks’ +12500 odds are significantly worse.
All things considered; this has been a disappointing year for the Seahawks. With +200 odds to win the NFC West, they were expected to do more. Geno Smith is coming off NFL Comeback Player of the Year honors, but he has been up and down this year.
As a team, it has been an inconsistent season. They’ve beaten the teams that they should, though don’t have a signature win on their resume. Besides an early-season OT win over the Detroit Lions, they haven’t had a big win. Covering the point spread against the Dallas Cowboys is one of their best accomplishments.
Nevertheless, the Seahawks can still sneak into the NFC playoffs as a wildcard. As far as the division is concerned, they’ve already missed the boat to win the NFC West.
NFC West Predictions
Who will join the list of NFC winners? There is only one answer. The 49ers are cruising to their second straight NFC West title.
With five games remaining, the Ravens are the only opponent on their schedule that is currently a playoff team. They should be favored in that game at home, too.
If the injury bug suddenly hits the 49ers hard, the Rams might have a slight chance to steal the NFC West. Injuries to Nick Bosa, Samuel, and McCaffrey would certainly stir up the division, but it would still be difficult.
The 49ers are the most complete team in the NFC West. You can take it a step forward and say that they are the most complete team in the NFL and definitely the frontrunners to win the NFC Conference Championship.
In the preseason, we bet on the 49ers to win the NFC West. The 49ers’ preseason NFC West odds at -170 looks like a serious bargain now. Expect the 49ers to finish the job to clinch the division. However, currently, there is no value in backing the 49ers to win at the best football betting sites.
