NFC West- Week 10

By: Colin Cook

Arizona Cardinals:
Whew, after last week's ass-kicking from the 49ers, the Cardinals probably deserve a BYE week more than anyone else in the league. The only thing worse is going from 4-0 to...4-5.
Just so this section has some substance, here's what the Cardinals should work on during the BYE: get a good quarterback, get a healthy running back, practice throwing to Larry Fitzgerald, hire an entirely new offensive line, and apologize to Kevin Kolb while you're at it for allowing him to go through so many sacks that Goldilocks seemed reasonable!

St. Louis Rams at San Francisco 49ers:
The 49ers are a good team. A great team. And what have we learned about the 49ers? They dominate the ground-game, their defense is great, Kaepernick is actually able to run a wildcat formation. So what is missing from this list? Well, if the New York Giants taught the National Football League anything a few weeks ago, it's Alex Smith. He's a great game manager...but he's not that good of a passer.
So how does this help the Rams? Well, all they really need to do is score more points than the 49ers and force them to throw down the field to catch up. And what really helps the Rams in doing this is Danny Amendola, who is finally returning from a weeks-long injury. The Rams secondary is no laughing matter, but we saw how the Niners eviscerated the Cardinals' 'good' secondary...and remember what I said about Alex Smith? The 'good' Cardinals secondary almost gave him a perfect game!
Basically this is a game of 'who has the lead', because if San Francisco can keep that lead, they just have to run it down the field like a menace, jumping onto the shoulders of Frank Gore, and preparing the champagne in hopes of being one step closer to San Francisco's second championship this year.

Seattle Seahawks:
Okay, what happens when you pick the last kid in gym class that nobody else wants, keep him playing as the head of the team even those he's horrible, and then send him marching off against a team of supermen? Well you pretty much get this New York Jets against Seattle Seahawks game. And, unfortunately for the the last kid in gym class, the dice rolled on a game in Seattle.
Not only do the Seahawks not have to travel across the country, they get their twelfth man (the collective crowd at home, in case you were wondering) which has proven effective as Seattle has taken down much larger prey at home in the Patriots, Vikings and, that's right, the Packers- even though they had won that game at halftime, but I digress. 
Mark Sanchez is going to throw so many interceptions, there are gonna be dogs running into the stadium to play fetch! I don't think there's any question- the Jets, although coming off a BYE, are terrible, and at home, the Seahawks dominate.
