I will add… the NFC West games are important this week. If the Cardinals beat Seattle, while the 9ers lose to GB and the Rams lose to Philly – which is a pretty strong possibility – the Cardinals are 7-4 while the other teams fall to 5-6. They would take command of the division. I think SF and SEA would then absolutely kiss the season goodbye. They would both be 1-3 in the division and with harder schedules in front of them than AZ has.
And it would leave the Rams in longshot position.
This game against Philly is really important, in my view. They have to steal one down the stretch, and it’s either Philly or Buffalo, and I think Philly is lower-hanging fruit.
