 The 2008 NFL Odds to win NFC West say Seattle should take the NFL West division with key addition Julius Jones and that will open up the passing game. This is a tough call for 2nd place in this division but I'll go with Arizona. I'm taking the St. Louis Rams for 3rd place if offensive line stays healthy. San Francisco rounds it out until they can score some points on offense, they are at the bottom of the 2008 NFL Odds to win NFC West. Arizona Cardinals - Quarterback Matt Leinart, so far the best thing he has done in the NFL is hold wild parties. This has to be the key year for him to show he has what it takes to be a starting NFL quarterback in this league. Will Leinart grab and hold the starting job, or will we see Kurt Warner fight his way back on the field? Leinart was starting last year before he broke his collarbone and it sidelined him. Once Leinart got hurt, Warner was the starter and tossed 27 touchdown passes in only 11 starts despite playing most of the season with a torn ligament in his left (throwing) elbow. The oddsmakers at Bogdoglife.com have Arizona Cardinals 9/4 to win 2008/09 NFC West Division. San Francisco 49ers - They picked up wide receiver Isaac Bruse with a free-agent signing. Does he have much left is the question? His veteran presence is what this team needs. Bruse, now 35, terrorized the 49ers during his 14 seasons with the St. Louis Rams. Jerry Rice also gave the new 49er receiver his blessing to wear his number 80. The Rams released him, Niners quickly picked him up for a reunion with offensive coordinator Mike Martz. The 2008 NFL Odds to win NFC West at Bogdoglife.com have San Francisco 49ers 6-1 to win 2008/09 NFC West Division. Seattle Seahawks- Key addiction to the Seahawks roster this year is Julius Jones. With Alexander gone, Seattle will use Jones a ton in the running game. Jones will receive the bulk of the carries but 254-pound TJ Duckett should see his share of carries mostly in short yardage situations. I can understand why Dallas fans were disappointed with him, but you have to realize that the Seahawks' play style is nothing at all like the Cowboys. This will be a great year for the Hawks. They get the AFC East with the only really tough game being played in Seattle where they don't lose, and they get the NFC East which is a great division, but one that they've dominated over the last three years. On top of that, they get the the thorn-in-the-side Packers at home without Favre. I think they have a great chance of getting the #1 seed in the NFC, which is an almost guaranteed Superbowl berth with home field advantage. The oddsmakers at Bogdoglife.com have Seattle Seahawks 5/6 to win 2008/09 NFC West Division. St. Louis Rams- Franchise has been in the league for 70 years now, and only three teams of this franchise have finished with three or fewer wins. The Rams finished last year with a 3-13 record and in a special place in that dishonorable group. Now the team is preparing for training camp there is a new mind set for this year, and according to coach Scott Linehan. "It's easy to say, 'Hey, forget about last year, focus on this year.' But getting them to do it ..." Linehan said. "Our players have made a concerted effort to embrace that concept and really focus on what's good about getting to the 2008 season, and not on what we've got to do to make amends for the 2007 season." The 2008 NFL Odds to win NFC West at Bogdoglife.com have St. Louis Rams 11/2 to win 2008/09 NFC West Division.
