Los Angeles Rams Odds to Win Super Bowl LIV
The Los Angeles Rams survived a late scare from the Carolina Panthers to move to 1-0 on the season. It’s never easy for West Coast teams to head to the East Coast for a 1 PM local start, but the Rams looked strong in the first half and withstood a comeback attempt to win their opener. The Rams will look to move to 2-0 this week when they take on another one of the favorites to win the NFC per NFL futures odds. The New Orleans Saints have certainly not forgot what happened the last time these teams met, and they desire at least a modicum of revenge.

Los Angeles Rams Week 2 Preview
This rematch of the NFC Championship Game will be the most hyped game of the Week 2 slate. The Rams are currently favored by only three points per the NFL betting odds, but that line is likely to rise after New Orleans’ performance on Monday night.
The Saints needed some Big Easy magic to knock off Houston in their home opener, and that should give LA more than just the home team bump from the oddsmakers. Both the Rams and Saints went 13-3 ATS last season.
One of the keys for the Rams in this game will be stopping the run. LA struggled to stop the run last season even though it boasted the best defensive tackle pairing in football in Aaron Donald and Ndamakong Suh. Suh left in the offseason, and the Rams had a world of trouble trying to stop Christian McCaffrey in Week 1 against the Panthers. Sean Payton has committed to the run with Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray, so Wade Phillips’ defense must come up with a plan to stop the duo.
Donald had a somewhat quiet first game after seeing continuous double teams, and he failed to register a sack or a tackle for loss against Carolina. The Panthers’ focus on Donald freed up others along the Rams’ front to make plays though, so the Saints might be more open to blocking him one on one.
On offense, the Rams running game will be out to set the tone. Todd Gurley and Malcolm Brown combined to average six yards per carry in the season opener, and LA successfully ground out the game due to their prowess.
In particular, Gurley will want to carry the ball more after just 14 runs in Week 1. The Rams are managing his workload due to his knee problems, but the star running back is going to be needed against the Saints.
Los Angeles Rams Week 1 Recap
Jared Goff was not at his best against the Panthers in Week 1. After signing a massive extension just a few days before the start of the season, the Rams were hoping for more out of the fourth-year quarterback. However, his performance on Sunday left a lot to be desired. Goff averaged less than five yards an attempt despite having three excellent receivers healthy in this game.
Instead, it was Gurley and Brown that carried the day. The two running backs kept the chains moving and helped the Rams ice the clock late in the game. Brown’s emergence has helped lighten the burden on Gurley and should keep him fresh throughout the season.
The defense did not have their best performance, but the secondary flustered Cam Newton enough early for the Rams to hold the Panthers at bay. Eric Weddle was forced to leave the game early due to injury, yet the young safeties played well, and that seasoning will help against Brees and the Saints.
Dante Fowler was the star for the defense against Carolina. He wreaked havoc from the edge during the game, sacking Cam Newton twice in the afternoon. Fowler continues to be an excellent addition after the team picked him up from Jacksonville for a pittance last year, and he is one of the Rams that will be freed up with all the attention that defenses pay to Donald.

The Rams franchise has moved a lot during its time in the NFL, and they’ve enjoyed success at each of their stops. The roots of the team were sprouted in Cleveland for the 1936 season and the Rams stayed there for eight years, winning their first league championship in 1945. The team made its way to Southern California for the 1946 campaign, becoming the first NFL champion to play the following season in another city.
Enjoying success on the field and in the stands, the Rams were routinely the highest attended team in the league playing in the cavernous Coliseum. They appeared in three straight championship games from 1949 to 1951, winning their second title in the final year of that run. A down period preceded the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, but the club enjoyed one of the best decades of football during the 1970s. The team hired Chuck Knox for the 1973 season and won the next seven NFC West titles, at the time a league record.
Battling Dallas and Minnesota for conference supremacy during the decade, the Rams came up short of a Super Bowl trip in three consecutive seasons and four times overall. It was their weakest divisional winner that finally got them to the Big Game. Going 9-7 in 1979, the Rams upset Dallas and shutout Tampa Bay in the NFC Championship to reach its first Super Bowl. The following season they moved down the road to Anaheim and in 1995 the Rams bolted for St. Louis. They won a Super Bowl title while based in Missouri but the last decade was a waste. They moved back to Los Angeles for the 2016 season.
The hiring of McVay changed the fortunes of the franchise. The Rams won back-to-back NFC West titles for the first time since that dominant stretch in the 1970s and they went from being the lowest scoring team in 2016 to the highest scoring unit in 2017, earning McVay Coach of Year honors in his rookie season. It was the first time the Rams led the league in points since the Greatest Show on Turf team of 2001.
