Super Bowl LVI odds: Rams tied with Ravens, Bills for 4th-best in NFL
After agreeing to trade Jared Goff to the Detroit Lions for Matthew Stafford, the Los Angeles Rams’ stock has been trending up. The offense is expected to improve under the veteran quarterback, players reportedly texted Stafford that they’re interested in joining him in Los Angeles, and as a result of it all, their Super Bowl odds are on the rise.
After the Buccaneers knocked off the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV on Sunday night, sportsbooks released odds for each team to win it all next season. At BetMGM, the Rams are tied for the fourth-best odds in the NFL at +1200, right there with the Ravens and Bills.
The Chiefs remain the favorites at +600, followed by the Packers (+900) and Buccaneers (+1000). Right behind the Rams are the 49ers, surprisingly, at +1600. The Seahawks have the third-best Super Bowl odds in the NFC West at +2200, with the Cardinals rounding out the division at +4000.
It’s easy to see why the Rams’ odds are improving, moving from ninth-best in the NFL to tied for fourth-best. Stafford is viewed as an upgrade over Goff and will not only help the Rams offense, but his turnover avoidance will also put the defense in better spots by not forcing them to hold up against short fields.
Of course, the path to Super Bowl LVI will be a difficult one for the Rams. They play in the NFL’s toughest division, have to face the Bucs, Packers, Colts and Titans outside the NFC West and have a lot of free agency questions to answer before the season starts.
As long as the defense continues to play at a high level, and Stafford pans out as a top-10 quarterback next season, the Rams will be right in the thick of things in the NFC – and possibly have a chance to play in Super Bowl LVI at home at SoFi Stadium.
