Fitz & Whit are breaking down the West divisions, and there’s no shortage of questions. The 49ers look like the best team in football, but are the Rams better than their record suggests?

We’ve officially reached the quarter mark of the NFL season, so Fitz and Whit take a look at what they’ve learned, what’s surprised them, and what they still can’t figure out. The guys reveal some of their favorite position groups before trying to make sense of the surprising NFC East, where the Giants are 3-1 and somehow sitting on top, the Eagles are trying to find their footing, Washington is searching for answers, and the Cowboys still look like the team to beat.
