Los Angeles Rams NFL Betting
Following the 2018 season, Rams head coach Sean McVay was touted as the man that would reinvent football. McVay led the Rams to the playoffs as a rookie head coach in 2017 with a Super Bowl loss to the Patriots the following year. At that time, all of McVay’s assistants, or anyone he knew for that matter, got interviews for head coaching gigs. But a funny thing happened on the road to the Hall of Fame. McVay and the Rams have slipped. And the former number one overall draft pick and two-time Pro Bowl quarterback Jared Goff is gone. Goff and McVay had an ugly falling out last season. Subsequently, Goff was sent packing to the Detroit Lions for star-crossed veteran Matthew Stafford. Gamblers are impressed with the change. Los Angles opened with a win total of 10.5.

Jared Goff signed a $134 million four-year extension in April of 2019. From that point, things were never the same. The Rams failed to make the 2019 playoffs. And LA lost in the divisional round last year. Los Angeles has not been anywhere close to dominant. McVay’s star has fallen. NFL defenses have figured out his offenses. Injuries have been a factor. But McVay has been outed as just another football coach. The past two seasons are hardly the work of a mastermind.
Matthew Stafford was the first pick of the 2009 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, he was drafted by the Detroit Lions. And his career has gone to waste. McVay raves about Stafford in his workouts. LA ranked 23rd in the NFL for scoring offense last year and needs a jolt. Somehow, Stafford compiled a 96.3 QB rating on a terrible Detroit team with a 26/10 TD/INT ratio.
The big improvement for the Rams in 2020 was on defense, where Los Angeles ranked first overall and for points allowed. However, defensive coordinator Brandon Staley was so impressive, that he moved down the hall to the Los Angeles Chargers as their new head coach. Veteran assistant and former head coach Raheem Morris takes command of the unit.
Defensive tackle Aaron Donald is coming off a dominant 2020 campaign. Donald had 13.5 sacks and 19.5 tackles for loss. Meanwhile, linebacker Leonard Floyd added 10.5 sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss.
