Road to Super Bowl LVI: Los Angeles Rams 2021-22 Season Recap

The Los Angeles Rams' efforts on the trade and free agent market have paid off, as they get set to represent the NFC in Super Bowl 56 on Feb. 13. The Rams will be the second straight team to play the Super Bowl in their home stadium after it never occurring before in league history.

It's been a wild ride for the Rams, who kicked off their championship hunt by trading away franchise QB Jared Goff – who brought them to the Super Bowl just a few years ago – and several future draft picks for Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford.

Prior to the start of the regular season, Los Angeles was given +1500 odds (via FanDuel Sportsbook) to win the Super Bowl – the seventh best odds in the NFL. But their solid odds didn’t come without some bumps in the road.

Starting running back Cam Akers tore his achilles just before the start of training camp, which led to the Rams adding Sony Michel in a trade with the New England Patriots a few weeks before the season. Then in November, as the Rams battled the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers for the NFC West crown, wide receiver Robert Woods tore his ACL in practice and would miss the rest of the season.

Despite those early obstacles, the Rams continued to move forward and added some more talent around an already stacked roster. Los Angeles added disgruntled wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. after he was waived by the Cleveland Browns, and then made their final championship move by trading with the Denver Broncos for linebacker and Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller.

Among the highlights during the regular season was the play of wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who exploded on the field with Stafford throwing to him. Kupp won the wide receiver triple crown, leading the league in receiving yards, receiving touchdowns and receptions en route to an All-Pro selection and Pro Bowl berth.

For their efforts during the season (plus a minor collapse by the Cardinals), the Rams won the NFC West Division Title and secured at least one home playoff as the No. 4 seed in the conference.

Los Angeles hosted Arizona in the Wild Card round and handled them with ease, taking down their division rival, 34-11.

Next, they traveled to Tampa Bay to face Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. In typical Brady fashion, the Bucs came back from a 27-3 deficit to tie the game in the fourth quarter and almost put a halt to the Rams’ season, but back to back connections for 64 yards between Stafford and Kupp set up the game winning field goal to send the Rams back home for the NFC Championship Game.

In-state and division rival 49ers returned to Los Angeles to conclude the season’s trilogy with the Rams. After falling in the first two, the Rams took the most important of them all, narrowly defeating San Francisco, 20-17, in another thriller that saw them score 13 unanswered points after being down 17-7.

Betting on the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI

There are many options available to bettors looking to place a wager on the Rams for Super Bowl LVI. Review the possibilities below and combine your favorite bet types to maximize your potential payout for the end of the game.

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 -200
• 49ers +165

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 $20 bet nets $10. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here the Bengals moneyline was set at +165, meaning a $10 wager would profit $16.50.

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 -4.5 point spread, Los Angeles would need to win by five 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.

LA 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 have an even record when it came to covering in 2021 (including the playoffs), owning a 10-10 mark against the spread. Los Angeles’ 10 covers were by an average margin of 10.75 points while its 10 misses came at an average of 9.6 points.

Here’s an example:

• Rams -4.5 (+110)
• Bengals +4.5 (-110)

In this situation, the Bengals are 4.5 point underdogs against the Rams. If Los Angeles wins the game by five or more points, a $100 wager on the Rams would come with a payout of $90.91. If Cincinnati won the game outright or lost by four 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:

The Rams will play the Bengals and the over/under is set at 48 points. A wager on the over would require Los Angeles and Cincinnati to score 49 total points or more to win. Betting the under is an expectation that the two teams would score 47 or fewer points. It's also possible for the bet to push, which would happen if the game finished with exactly 48 points scored.

In 2021, the over hit in 10 of the Rams' 20 games, with the under hitting nine times and the total pushing once. For the Bengals, the over hit eight times, the under 11 times and the total pushing once as well.

Rams Player 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:

• Cooper Kupp receveing yards: O/U 105.5 yards

Let’s break it down a bit. Kupp averaged a stunning 114.5 yards per game in the 2021 regular season, and raised it up to 128.7 yards in the playoffs so far. As Stafford's favorite target, it seems likley that Kupp will see a large number of targets as the Rams try to exploit the Bengals' secondary. But the slow rise of Odell Beckham Jr. in the offense -- which resulted in his first 100+ receving yard game since 2019 last week -- could potentially impact Kupps production if Cincinnati puts extra emphasis on covering him. Over 100 yards receiving in the Super Bowl would be quite the feat for any receiver, but oddsmakers like Kupp to cross the mark.
