At 6-2, 6-2, and 6-3, the NFC West looks destined to send three teams to the playoffs, but the winner of the division could be determined on which team wins the trade deadline on Tuesday. Either by making a huge acquisition or by sitting out and trusting their players and coaches to win an explosive second half showdown between these three teams.

The NFC West didn't see their Week 7 action end until late Monday night, as the Seattle Seahawks played the final game of the week against the Houston Texans.

As the Seattle Seahawks come out of their bye week, they are 5-2 and tied for second in the NFC West division. With the first half of their season behind them, a lot of questions have been answered.

This is usually a very close matchup when they play the San Francisco 49ers. The Rams lost by three points to them last season, while winning by only six points in the meeting before that. Still, L.A. is 6-2 ATS this season and 2-1 ATS on the road.

Washington, on a three-game losing streak, has a crucial matchup against the NFC West leaders in Seattle. Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels is back after missing last week with a hamstring injury. The Commanders have dropped three straight. Seattle leads the NFC West division and has won five of its last six matchups.
