Los Angeles Rams NFL Betting Online

The Los Angeles Rams entered last season with very low expectations. After forcing NFL bettors to topple 10.5-game season win totals the prior two seasons, Sean McVay’s squad entered the 2023-24 NFL betting season with 6.5-game win total odds, with heavier juice on the under at the online sportsbook. Additionally, they started the year as 10-1 underdogs to win the NFC West and -375 favorites to miss the playoffs. However, the year didn’t go as planned for oddsmakers, as LA became one of the biggest surprises in the NFC by winning 10 games. At one point, they gave the 49ers a tough challenge in the division title race before ultimately settling for a wild-card bid. Due to this unexpected success, Los Angeles enters its 2024 campaign expected to finish just behind San Francisco for division bragging rights and as a coin flip to make the playoffs – what a difference a year makes!

While major roster improvements played a role, the franchise's consistent success is largely attributable to Sean McVay remaining the head coach. Under his leadership, the Rams have participated in two Super Bowls, winning one, and qualified for the postseason five times, maintaining a record above .500 all but once since he took the helm in 2017. Although Aaron Donald will no longer be the dominant force he was in the trenches throughout his 10-year career, GM Les Snead did a commendable job bringing in talented players for the defensive front and back seven via the NFL Draft and free agency. The moves made should support a loaded Rams offense that could be even better this upcoming season with a healthy Cooper Kupp pairing up with Puka Nacua, who, if not for C.J. Stroud’s standout season, would have won the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award going away.

The Rams fielded a potent offense last season, ranking seventh overall with an average of nearly 360 yards accrued per game while denting scoreboards for 23.6 points per game (No. 9). They maintained a balanced attack, with their passing game averaging 239.0 yards per game (No. 10) and their rushing attack exceeding 120 yards per game (No. 11). After having his previous season cut short, Matthew Stafford returned to start 15 regular season games, throwing for 3,965 yards and a 24:11 TD/INT ratio. The offensive line, significantly improved from the previous season when it allowed 59 sacks (third-most in the league), only permitted 34 sacks (No. 6) thanks to the strong interior guard play of Kevin Dotson and Jonah Jackson. This protection allowed Stafford to turn rookie pass catcher Puka Nacua into a fantasy and prop betting sensation, with the rookie wide receiver reeling in 105 receptions for 1,486 yards and 6 TDs.

Kyren Williams, despite playing only 12 games due to an early season injury, helped elevate the offense upon his return. The second-year rusher amassed 1,144 yards and 12 touchdowns, establishing himself as one of the most explosive RB1s in the league. Though Williams returns for his third NFL season looking to avoid the injury bug, the team bolstered their running back room by drafting Michigan RB Blake Corum with the No. 19 pick in the third round and signing veteran Boston Scott from Philadelphia for additional depth. The offense is well-stocked at key positions, but the Rams' ability to compete for another Super Bowl title will largely depend on the defensive additions, with rookies Jared Verse and Braden Fiske from Florida State expected to help mitigate the absence of Aaron Donald.

According to current win total odds at the online sportsbook, San Francisco is expected to win three more games than the Rams in the regular season. Oddsmakers suggest that LA will likely be one of the three NFC teams to secure a wild-card berth. The last time Los Angeles sported an 8.5-game win total, it won 10 regular season games before going on to get eliminated in the division round by the Green Bay Packers. The current odds for the Rams to make the playoffs are set at +105, with the "No" at -135. Sharp Football Analysis ranks the Rams' schedule strength as league average at No. 17, with matchups set to go against the NFC North, AFC East, Las Vegas Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles, and New Orleans Saints. LA benefits from playing nine of 17 regular season games at SoFi Stadium, where they went 5-3 straight up and against the spread last season.

Los Angeles Rams Schedule & Results

The Rams have a rich history that began in Cleveland in 1937. They moved to Los Angeles for the first time in 1946, winning one NFL championship and playing in three other championship games between 1949 and 1955. In the late 1960s, the Rams became a powerhouse in the NFL, known for their dominant "Fearsome Foursome" defensive line and quarterback Roman Gabriel, a matinee idol.

Under head coach George Allen, the Rams made the playoffs in 1967 and 1969, though they were eliminated in the divisional round both times. Despite consistent contention, Allen was eventually fired. Coaches Chuck Knox and John Robinson also brought consistent success, but a Super Bowl title remained elusive.

This is the Rams' second stint in Los Angeles, where they originally played from 1946 to 1994 before relocating to St. Louis from 1995 to 2015. In 1999, the Rams won their first Super Bowl championship in franchise history with the “Greatest Show on Turf” captivating NFL fans all season long. They captured their second Super Bowl title in 2021, marking the first Super Bowl win for the Los Angeles version of the Rams. Since their return to LA in 2016, the Rams have been consistent winners, with five playoff berths in the last seven years. In 2020, they moved into SoFi Stadium, the most spectacular and modern stadium of its kind in the world.
