Playoff Power Rankings, Betting Odds: Where Do Rams Land Entering Postseason?
The Los Angeles Rams are entering the playoffs as the No. 6 seed in the NFC, capping off a miraculous turnaround in the regular season after a subpar start.
The Rams are slated to face the Detroit Lions during the NFL's Super Wild Card Weekend next week, pitting quarterback Matthew Stafford against his former team. As the playoffs near, where does Los Angeles land in odds to win a Super Bowl?
Sporting News released a set of NFL playoff power rankings complete with current betting odds for finishing the season with a victory in the Super Bowl, and the Rams came in at No. 6 on the list out of 14 teams.
6. Los Angeles Rams, NFC No. 6 seed (+5000)
The Rams are right up there among the most dangerous offenses in the playoffs. Their Super Bowl-winning experience from two years ago cannot be discounted with Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, and Sean McVay in a groove together again, now with young sensations Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams. The defense is also stout against the run with Aaron Donald doing his thing. Watch out for more flashes that could allow them to make a surprise run.
The Rams enter the list one spot ahead of their round one opponent in the Lions, although Detroit has +2000 odds to win the Super Bowl, ahead of L.A.'s mark of +5000.
