Kyle Brandt · Aug 12, 2025

Brandt says he's nervous about Matthew Stafford's back but would still pick the Rams to win the NFC West and make the playoffs; he also flags the Seahawks as an ascending team he likes this season, floating a 12-5 or 11-6 record.

I always like the Rams to go to the playoffs. I would pick them to win the West.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.

  • I just look at a team that might be sitting there and we're like, Wow, the twelve and five Seahawks, the eleven and six Seahawks. I'm into it... And I feel like the Rams and Niners can only hold on so long... And then here comes the Seahawks. I like their shots this year.
