Rams' Super Bowl odds improve dramatically after 2-0 start
Cameron DaSilva

Before the season began, only 10 teams had worse Super Bowl odds than the Los Angeles Rams. It was reasonable to doubt the Rams at least a little after they underwent major changes in the offseason, but giving the Browns and Broncos better Super Bowl odds than L.A. seemed hard to believe.

The Rams have proved a lot of skeptics wrong through two weeks, including the oddsmakers. After opening the year at 50/1 to win the Super Bowl (20th-best), the Rams’ odds now sit at 22/1 – tied for 10th-best with the Bills and Patriots – according to BetMGM.

That means their chances have more than doubled after knocking off the Cowboys and Eagles, whose odds now sit at 18/1 and 40/1, respectively. It’s about a good a start as the Rams could’ve hoped for through two weeks, coming away with two statement wins against the best teams in the NFC East.

Granted, it’s only Week 3, but people are coming around on the idea of L.A. being a legitimate contender in the NFC. The Seahawks (12/1) and Cardinals (20/1) still have better Super Bowl odds than the Rams, but San Francisco has fallen off a cliff due to injuries, and is now just 45/1 to win it all.

The Rams’ 22/1 odds have an implied probability of 4.3% to win the Super Bowl. Unsurprisingly, the Ravens (9/2) and Chiefs (11/2) remain the top picks to win it all this season, followed by the Seahawks, Saints and Buccaneers.

While the AFC has two elite at the top, there are six NFC teams in the top nine of the latest Super Bowl odds.
