Last year this was our preseason odds and a snipit from Bleacher Report just one year ago......
Los Angeles Rams (150-1)The Los Angeles Rams are a bad football team. After being mired in mediocrity for years (a specialty of former head coach Jeff Fisher), the Rams turned over the reins to the youngest head coach in the NFL in 31-year-old Sean McVay.
But he's a coach, not a miracle worker. This thing isn't getting turned around overnight.
The defense should be good this season. McVay brought in one of the best of the business to run it in Wade Phillips, and he has building blocks to work with in linebacker Alec Ogletree and a Defensive Player of the Year candidate in lineman Aaron Donald.
Also, the Rams tried to improve the protection for second-year quarterback Jared Goff with the signing of veteran tackle Andrew Whitworth.
But Goff needs to improve markedly in his second season just to go from bad to mediocre.The same can be said about the team he leads.
