Los Angeles Rams
· 2026-07-04
The Los Angeles Rams are the clear favorites to win the Super Bowl, with DraftKings labeling them as +550 favorites.
Their roster is packed with talent, including superstar defensive end Myles Garrett.
Despite their impressive roster, Bleacher Report's Brad Gagnon is not entirely sold on the Rams.
Gagnon notes that the last NFL team with odds inside +600 to win the championship was the 1994 San Francisco 49ers.
Injuries could be a major factor, with Gagnon asking what would happen if injuries hit or if quarterback Matthew Stafford finally fades.
The Rams play in a brutal NFC West division that includes the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, and Arizona Cardinals.
The NFC as a whole is also a rugged conference with many playoff contenders and Super Bowl hopefuls.
The Los Angeles Rams won 11 games and made it to the NFC Championship Game last season, but fell to the eventual Super Bowl-champion Seattle Seahawks.
Their next game is against the San Francisco 49ers on 2026-09-11.
The Rams have superb talent on both sides of the ball, a terrific head coach in Sean McVay, and some experience on their side.
But there is no guarantee that they will win it all next season.
And with a tough division and conference, the Rams could have some difficulty embarking on a sustained postseason run.
So the Rams will need to stay healthy and perform well to live up to their favorite status.
But for now, they are the team to beat in the NFL.
The Rams' offense, led by quarterback Matthew Stafford, will need to be firing on all cylinders.
Their defense, with the addition of Myles Garrett, will need to be strong.
The Rams' special teams will also need to be solid.
With all these factors in place, the Rams could make a deep run in the playoffs.
But it won't be easy, with many tough games ahead, including their next one against the 49ers.
