The Los Angeles Rams are seen as a formidable contender in the NFC West, particularly against rivals like the San Francisco 49ers, thanks to their improved roster and young, seasoned talent. Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis expressed confidence in the Rams' ability to not only compete but potentially dominate the division in the upcoming season.

After a narrow playoff exit to the Philadelphia Eagles last postseason, the Rams have bolstered their defense and offensive strategies, positioning themselves for a successful campaign. Bettis believes the Rams have the tools to not only challenge but also overcome the Eagles, who ended their last postseason run.
