Kyler Murray is back and so are Chandler Jones and Deandre Hopkins. And with roster moves in the off-season, it looks like they will be getting a little help from some new friends like J.J. Watt, A.J. Green, and Rodney Hudson.
We all know Murray is a good quarterback and he has an impressive list of receivers and running backs to work with like James Conner, Chase Edmonds, Christian Kirk, and Eno Benjamin. As for the defense, Budda Baker joins Jones in returning and now the Cardinals have Watt. With this all-star roster, the Cardinals could be looking at finally returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2015 as they are expected to win nine games this season.

He has help on the offense with a wide receiver trio consisting of Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, and DeSean Jackson.
On the other side of the ball, the 2020 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Aaron Donald, is returning along with Jalen Ramsey. The Rams are expected to win over ten games this season and could be the team to beat in the NFC West.

San Francisco 49ers
Jimmy Garoppolo is the starting quarterback for now, but don’t be surprised if Trey Lance slips in for a game or two. Lance threw an 80-yard touchdown in the team’s first preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs. In fact, most sportsbook apps have Lance favored over Garoppolo to win MVP.
The team went to the Super Bowl in 2019 but fell short to make it to the playoffs last season because of injuries. But if the team can stay healthy, they could be at the top of the division. Tight end George Kittle is returning along with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, and running backs Raheem Mostert and Trey Sermon. Nick Bosa and Dee Ford are coming back to lead the defense. The 49ers are expected to win over ten games this season.
