Los Angeles Rams Odds

Los Angeles Rams Odds, Bet Types, and Team History

Sean McVay finally got his Super Bowl championship with Matthew Stafford under center. Now, the Rams have to do it again.

The Rams were very active this offseason, bringing in established veterans like linebacker Bobby Wagner and wide receiver Allen Robinson. Odell Beckham Jr. entered the regular season as a free agent after tearing his ACL in the Super Bowl, although it would shock no one if he eventually returned to the Rams.

The big question for Los Angeles: Can McVay & Co. do it again? Cooper Kupp took the NFL by storm, producing record-setting stats throughout the season, and McVay's offense looked like a machine late in the season, even without much of a running game. Facing the 49ers and Cardinals in the NFC West won't make it easy, but the NFC in general is void of elite teams so Los Angeles will be considered one of the favorites.

Betting on the LA 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 -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.
