The NFC West is one of the most fascinating divisions in the NFL right now.
The Seattle Seahawks lead the division with an 8-5 record, but the Los Angeles Rams are hot on their heels with an 8-6 record.
After the Rams defeated the San Francisco 49ers on the road on Thursday night, the odds to win the NFC West flipped.
According to ESPN BET, the Rams are now the favorites to win the NFC West (even) with the Seahawks (+105) and Arizona Cardinals (+1200) coming up after them.

Sean McVay and his Rams have this knack for surprising everyone at the end of the season and sneaking into the playoff picture.
Last season, after starting with a record of 3-6, they ultimately made the playoffs and gave the Detroit Lions a tough challenge in the wildcard round.
Based on their current performance, the Rams could be a challenging opponent for anyone in the playoffs if they win the NFC West.
They have won four of their last five games and are now riding high.
A fascinating nugget regarding the division is that the Seahawks and the Rams are slated to face each other in the final game of the regular season.
That game could very well be for the division.
Furthermore, the Rams are only a game back in the loss column of the final wildcard spot in the NFC, which the 8-5 Washington Commanders are currently holding.
No matter how this race ends, you can never count out Sean McVay, Matthew Stafford, and the Rams.
