The Favorites is back as Action Network duo Kendra Middleton & Brandon Kravitz continue their 2026 NFL Season divisional previews! In today's episode they welcome Nick Lee, writer for Emerald City Spectrum, back to the show to preview the NFC West! If this division was a family function, who would each team be? Nick quickly celebrates last season's Seahawks Super Bowl win before attempting to convince the crew why people should be high on Seattle again this year. However, the LA Rams might have the best offense in the NFL. Is it simply a question of who wins between the Seahawks or Rams or will Kyle Shanahan and the currently beat up 49ers have a different say? Finally, what to do with the potentially decent Arizona Cardinals? Tune in to hear how they're seeing things play out in the NFC West, where they'll be planting their flag in the division and more.
