The surprise could be seattle -- Very little in the way of offensive line improvement. Could fall apart this year.
Here's there offseason moves -- not much positive besides some key extensions. Nothing new.

The seattle offense has less to offer than ours by far. It's Marshawn going downhill and wilson improvising. That's what they got.
Not a good position to be in really. Could bite them, with a lot less depth on D.
1) SF 12-4
2) ARI 11-5
2) SEA 11-5
3) STL 9-7
easily best division in football.

Their offense is weak. Wilson is below average when he isn't improvising and if you can stop their run, they're screwed.
Add to that the fact that teams will be scheming against Seattle's cheating secondary (or consider the refs may begin calling these penalties if other teams start using their tactics because it's going to ruin fantasy football and the high scoring games that the NFL clearly wants) and you have potential for disaster in Seattle.
I think they win 10 games, mainly because of their homefield advantage in Seattle. They've got some easy games on the road, too. That is unless the refs decide to enforce the rules against them, then they get 8 wins.

I'm not to sold on Arizona and St Louis being that much better they both have good defenses but mediocre QB's Palmer is a hot and cold QB and a turn over machine not very mobile. Bradford i compare to Alex Smith. The Niners and Seattle have the good defenses and QB's to back it up i see it the same as last year niners and seattle fighting for the top spot st louis and arizona fighting for 3rd and 4th place.

SF 14 - 2
SEA 13 - 3
STL 9 - 7
ARI 7- 9
We split w/Seattle and lose one more
Seattle loses one to Rams and two more
St. Louis loses 2 to us and splits w/Seattle
AZ loses 2 to us, 2 to Seattle, 1 to Rams and loses their QB due to piss poor OLine play
I'm focusing on our division. All the other loses are to teams yet to be determined.

FOX Sports analyst and former Vice President of Officiating Mike Pereira said the biggest points of emphasis in the NFL's officiating clinic were illegal contact and defensive holding.
"Last time the NFL had this as a major emphasis was 2004," Pereira continued, "and the number of illegal contact fouls went from 79 to 191." What this may look like in practice is unknown, but it appears the league is cracking down on the physical cornerback play many of the best defenses in the league are built on. This is yet another move which should increase passing and offensive success throughout the league.
