Los Angeles Rams Odds

Los Angeles Rams Odds, Bet Types and Team History

The Los Angeles Rams returned to the NFL playoffs in 2020, marking their third postseason appearance in four years. But it was a tale of two seasons in Los Angeles. A 5-2 start, including three wins in a brand new SoFi Stadium, had the Rams rolling before playing .500 football in November and December. A Week 17 win over Arizona — without QB Jared Goff — was enough for Los Angeles to earn a wild card berth and guarantee its third season of double-digit wins in four years under head coach Sean McVay. After ending the season of one division foe, the Rams struck again in the Wild Card round with a 30-20 win over NFC West champion Seattle behind 176 scrimmage yards from running back Cam Akers, the first rookie in franchise history to run for 100+ yards in a playoff game. Los Angeles would bow out to Green Bay in the Divisional Round.

At times last season, it seemed like the Rams were a player away from becoming serious Super Bowl contenders. General manager Les Snead must have thought so too as he dealt Goff and several future draft picks to the Detroit Lions for Matthew Stafford.

Stafford threw for 4,084 yards along with 26 touchdowns against 10 interceptions during his final year in Detroit. While he’s still looking for his first career playoff win, his productivity under center shows that it might be coming this season. Stafford has eclipsed the 4,000 yard mark eight times in 12 seasons to go with 38 career game-winning drives in the regular season. In case you’re wondering, that’s the third-most among active QBs with only Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger ahead of him.

Stafford will also have some quality targets around him as well. Wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods each recorded 90+ catches and over 900 yards a year ago. Both could benefit from an uptick in quarterback play while second-year pro Van Jefferson is a likely candidate for additional snaps and targets in 2021. The Rams’ biggest offensive question mark is likely the same as a year ago — running back. We won’t get to see Akers follow up on his strong postseason showing this year as he suffered a torn Achilles and will miss the entire season. Los Angeles’ running backs room does not have a lot of experience behind Akers. Look for third-year back Darrell Henderson to get the first crack at the starting job.

Defensively, questions are few and far between with the Rams. It’ll be interesting to see how Raheem Morris steps into the defensive coordinator role with Brandon Staley now serving as the Chargers head coach. But adjustments tend to be a touch easier when you have good personnel. And the Rams just happen to have All-Pro talent along the line and in the secondary. Actually, take it a step further. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey was named first-team All-Pro after registering 42 tackles, nine pass breakups and an interception last year. And then there’s Aaron Donald. The unanimous All-Pro selection won NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2020 for the third time in his career, racking up 44 total tackles to go with 13.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and a pass breakup. Let’s not forget he did all of that despite facing double and even some triple teams throughout most of the season.

Rams Rivals

Los Angeles’ 4-4 record between November and December kept it from a third NFC West title in four years. But a 10-6 campaign was enough to secure a wild card berth in a division where three teams finished .500 or better. The Seattle Seahawks won the division at 12-4, but the Rams took two of three from Seattle last year, including a win in the Wild Card round. The Arizona Cardinals made some positive strides to finish at 8-8 after a below .500 season in 2019, though Los Angeles also beat them twice — most notably in a decisive win-or-go-home Week 17 game. The San Francisco 49ers dealt with injuries all year as they finished in fourth place at 6-10 in 2020, a year after reaching the Super Bowl. When all four teams are healthy, the NFC West can provide must-watch football all season long.

While this division has some very strong teams in it, it’s worth noting that the AFC North champion has not won a playoff game since 2016. Wild card teams are 2-2 in that span.

Betting on the Los Angeles Rams

LA Rams Moneyline

The moneyline is as straightforward as it gets when it comes to betting. The only thing to do here is pick the winner. Check out this example:

• Rams -130
• 49ers +240

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, making Los Angeles the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think in terms of $10 or $100 increments. A wager on the Rams odds would mean every $13 bet nets $10. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here the 49ers moneyline was set at +240, meaning a $10 wager would profit $24.

Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, which are multiple bets tied into one. Let’s say you bet the Rams moneyline and a -3.5 point spread, Los Angeles would need to win by four points or more for that bet to be successful. The risk is greater, but so is the reward with increased odds. Use our Odds Calculator to calculate any bet amount or conversion.

Rams Point Spread

Betting point spreads are wagers based on the expectation that a team will win or lose by a certain number of points. The Rams had a winning record when it came to covering in 2020, owning a 9-7 mark against the spread. Los Angeles’ 10 wins were by an average margin of 11.5 points while its six losses came at an average of 6.5 points.

Here’s an example:

• Rams +1.5 (+110)
• Seahawks -1.5 (-110)

In this situation, the Rams are 1.5 point underdogs against the Seahawks. If Seattle wins the game by two or more points, a $100 wager on the Seahawks would come with a payout of $90.91. If Los Angeles won the game outright or lost by one point or less, the same $100 wager would net $110 plus the original $100 for a total of $210.

LA Rams Over/Under

Over/under, also called point total, is a wager placed on the combined scoring of a single game. Bookmakers come up with a number and you can either bet the over or — you guessed it — the under. Here’s how it works:

Let's say the Rams play the Cardinals and the over/under is set at 42 points. A wager on the over would require Los Angeles and Arizona to score 43 total points or more to win. Betting the under is an expectation that the two teams would score 41 or fewer points. It's also possible for the bet to push, which would happen if the game finished with exactly 42 points scored.

In 2020, Los Angeles averaged 25.1 points during its 5-2 start compared to 21.8 points over its final nine games. The Rams defense was more consistent, allowing 18.5 points per game as the under hit in 75% of their games last season, the second-highest percentage in the NFL.

Rams Prop betting

Player props are wagers on a single player, and they're tied to a single stat found in the box score for a game or even the whole season. These are among the most fun to bet on, especially if you're already playing fantasy football and like the player-specific focus it offers. Check out a hypothetical example below:

• Aaron Donald 2021 sacks: Over 14.5

Let’s break it down a bit. Donald averaged .84 sacks per game in 2020, slightly up from the .78 mark he averaged in 2019 and way off from the 1.28 he piled up in 2018. Assume he doesn’t flirt with 20 sacks again this year but that he jumps up to .90 sacks per game. If Donald maintained that average over a 16-game season he’d be at 14.4 sacks, rounding down to 14 which means the under would hit. Remember, the NFL added an extra regular season game and Donald’s only missed two up to this point in his career. Assuming he plays all 17 games, he’d be up to 15.3 and the over would hit. It’s a close call unless Donald has another 20-sack year in him. But given his longevity and production, this hypothetical might be worth a flier when making preseason bets.
