NFC West Odds 2025

Four historic teams, eight Super Bowl titles, and more than fifty years of history makes the NFC West one of the most entertaining divisions in the NFL. The Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, and Seattle Seahawks have all found success in the modern era of the NFL, making it one of the most open divisions from an NFL betting perspective. Here’s everything you need to know about betting on the NFC West in 2025.

How to read the NFC West Odds

Divisional odds are displayed in a moneyline or “winner” format. Teams listed with a minus (-) next to their odds will be the favorites, and if none of the four teams have negative odds which is quite common early in the year, the team with the smallest positive (+) odds would be the current favorite. As with standard moneyline wagers, negative odds (-) mean you need to wager that amount to win $100, while with positive odds a $100 wager would return that amount.

The higher the odds (the larger the (+) number), the bigger the dog. Let’s look at an example:

• 49ers +155: Bet $100 on San Francisco to win $255 ($155 profit)
• Seahawks +550: Bet $100 on Seattle to win $650 ($550 profit)

What to know: Betting the NFC West

Every NFL division contains four teams, meaning the squad you’re wagering on only needs to beat out three others to win the bet. Because the field is much narrower, the odds are generally smaller when betting NFL divisions than they will be for other football betting markets like the Super Bowl or individual awards.

Know thy neighbor

Frequency breeds familiarity – and every NFL team faces off against all of their divisional rivals at least twice a year. Plus, if the teams are good, a third matchup in the playoffs could be in the cards. Seeing the same teams year in and year out leads to distinct styles of play and sometimes, surprising results. Fans and bettors can use this familiarity and knowledge of the division to place informed bets.

All games count

While the Divisional games make up about 35% of each team’s schedule (six out of seventeen), all games count towards who actually wins the division. If the 49ers went 6-0 in the NFC West, but went 0-11 against the rest of the NFL, they would lose the Division to the Cards, Rams, or Seahawks if they were able to win more than 6 games.

Time it right

Timing is everything when betting NFL division winners. Hard Rock Bet offers real time odds on the market, meaning each bit of news during the offseason and each result during the season will impact the betting odds on the fly. Since the lines will be changing, timing your wagers right is vital.

Think the betting favorite starts the season with a few hard games? Maybe they’ll pick up a loss and the price will get better. Think an underdog might pull an early upset and drive their price down? It might be time to lock in the value while you still can. Keep your eyes open throughout the year to identify the right time to bet.

NFC West Teams

The NFC West features four talented teams, each with fiery fanbases. Spanning the entire West Coast from Phoenix to Seattle, the NFC West has featured prominently in the NFC playoff picture in recent years. Let’s meet the teams:

Arizona Cardinals: Waiting for their moment

• Stadium: University of Phoenix Stadium, Phoenix, Arizona
• Last NFC West Division Title: 2015

The Cardinals, surprisingly, are the oldest continuously run pro football team in the US, operating in some form or fashion since 1898. After a number of relocations, the Cards made their way west in 1988 and have called Phoenix home ever since.

Now calling the University of Phoenix Stadium home, the Arizona Cardinals are the least-decorated team in the NFC West, but have remained competitive nonetheless since they switched divisions during realignment in 2002. In the modern era of the division, the Cardinals have taken the title just three times — 2008 (losing in the Super Bowl), 2009, and 2015.

Los Angeles Rams: Looking for another ring

• Stadium: SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California
• Last NFC West Division Title: 2024

Little known fact, the Rams were originally founded as the Cleveland Rams back in 1936, but have been one of the league’s most transient franchises in the decades since. The team swapped northeast Ohio for southern California for the first time in 1946, calling Los Angeles home for nearly fifty years before transitioning back to St. Louis in 1995. The team claimed its first Super Bowl title in 1999 before returning to LA in 2016, taking up residence at SoFi Stadium – one of the world’s most impressive venues.

The Rams have been a pillar of consistency under HC Sean McVay since returning to Los Angeles, making multiple Super Bowl appearances with a victory in SB LVI in 2021 as their crowning achievement.

San Francisco 49ers: Always in contention

• Stadium: Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, California
• Last NFC West Title: 2023

The San Francisco 49ers are a true staple of the National Football League. The team won five Super Bowls during the 80s and 90s, cementing themselves into the history book of the league. In fact, only the Patriots and Steelers (6) have been more successful in league history. While the team’s last Lombardi came home nearly 30 years ago, the team always seems to be in contention. The 49ers made it to the Super Bowl in 2012, 2019, and 2023 – but lost each time.

Calling San Francisco home since 1946, the team is synonymous with greatness. Joe Montana, Steve Young, and Jerry Rice are just a few of the household names who have strapped on the red and gold. After winning the NFC West in 2022 and 2023, the team suffered through an injury-plagued campaign in 2024 and will be looking to bounce back.

Seattle Seahawks: Rebuilding, reloading

• Stadium: Lumen Field, Seattle, Washington
• Last NFC West Title: 2020

The NFC West as we know it today took shape in 2002 when both the Cardinals and the Seahawks joined during realignment. Since that time, the Seahawks have been dominant – winning nine Division titles. Long-tenured coaches like Mike Holmgren and Pete Carroll, alongside quality quarterback play from the likes of Matt Hasselbeck and Russell Wilson set the team up for a dominant run.

The Seahawks last topped the Division in 2020, but while you could technically say the team are rebuilding under head coach Mike Macdonald, they’re making it look easy. The Seahawks have finished with a winning record in three straight seasons despite these transitions.

Recent NFC West Winners

Here’s how the last five years have shaped out in the NFC West:

• 2024 LA Rams: The Rams climbed back to the top of the NFC West in 2024, going 10-7 to take the division crown via a tiebreaker over the Seattle Seahawks, who also finished 10-7. It was a scrappy season for Sean McVay’s team, but they peaked at the right time and nearly managed to knock off the Eagles, the eventual Super Bowl Champs, in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.
• 2023 San Francisco 49ers: The 49ers won the NFC West for the second consecutive year, posting an impressive 12-5 record during the regular season before advancing to Super Bowl LVIII. While they lost the ring to the Chiefs in overtime, the 9ers credentials in the NFC are not up for debate.
• 2022 San Francisco 49ers: The 49ers reclaimed the division title with a dominant 13-4 regular season campaign, unseating the defending Super Bowl Champion LA Rams. The 49ers advanced to the NFC Championship but lost 31-7, finishing the game without a single healthy quarterback on the roster.
• 2021 LA Rams: The Rams sustained excellence under Sean McVay finally paid off, with the LA Rams winning the NFC West with a 12-5 record in their first season with Matthew Stafford under center. The team then reeled off four straight wins in the playoffs, including fending off two NFC West foes (Cards + 49ers) on their way to a victory in Super Bowl LVI over the Cincinnati Bengals.
• 2020 Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks picked up their ninth division title during the 2020 season, finishing 12-4. However, their season ended in the Wild Card round of the playoffs with a 30-20 loss to their rival in the West, the LA Rams.
