Rams have 9th-best Super Bowl odds after first half of season
There wasn’t a lot of hope for the Los Angeles Rams winning a Super Bowl this season – at least not externally. Internally, the team always believed in itself that a bounce-back was on the horizon, but the outside media and even some fans were down on the Rams entering 2020.
The oddsmakers were especially low on them. At BetMGM, the Rams opened as +5000 to win the Super Bowl, or 50/1. That was 20th-best in the NFL, tied with the Bears and Falcons, and lower than both the Broncos and Chargers.
After playing half their regular-season schedule, the Rams’ odds have improved significantly. They’re now tied for ninth-best in the league at +2500 (25/1), right there with the Titans and just behind the Bills (+1800).
The Cardinals are currently +3000 to win it all, while the Seahawks are +1000, which is the best of any NFC West team. The 49ers’ odds have dropped precipitously due to injury, now sitting at +6000.
If the Rams are to make a run at the Super Bowl – or even the playoffs, for that matter – they’re going to have to beat some really good teams. In the coming weeks, they’ll face the Seahawks twice, Cardinals twice and the Buccaneers once, all of which will be tough games to win.
Sean McVay is excited about the Rams’ upcoming schedule, getting the chance to prove themselves as one of the best teams in the NFL.
