Rich Eisen · Aug 28, 2025

Eisen picked the NFC West with the Rams first — calling them possibly the class of the entire NFC — then the 49ers, Seahawks and Cardinals; he also said Cal Raleigh will win AL MVP and reach 60 home runs.

I think the Rams may wind up by the end of the day, the class of the entire conference.

  • And I'll put the Arizona Cardinals in that spot... But I do have them third. I've got the niner second, and I think the Rams may wind up by the end of the day, the class of the entire conference.

  • Los Angeles Rams to win the division

    I've got the niner second, and I think the Rams may wind up by the end of the day, the class of the entire conference.
