NFL Odds: Los Angeles Rams Are Now The Super Bowl Betting Favorite

The Los Angeles Rams played in one of the handful of premier games on Sunday afternoon when they took on the Seattle Seahawks. The winner would move to 8-2 on the season and take over first place in the NFC West, and Sean McVay and company came in as 3.5-point favorites.

NFL Odds: Rams Are Now Favored To Win The Super Bowl

Not only are the Rams now alone atop the division; they now sit in the top spot on the Super Bowl odds board, currently listed as the favorites to win it all this year.

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Los Angeles has a championship designation of +550. Those are the Rams’ shortest odds of the season, carrying implied odds of 15.3%, just slightly better than another NFC team. After Sunday night’s win over the Detroit Lions, the Philadelphia Eagles are listed at +600.

After starting the season 3-2, the Rams have now won five straight contests. Their last two victories have come against divisional opponents in the 49ers and Seahawks, which has helped them vault into first place in the NFC West. They are one game up on Seattle heading into Week 12, and 1.5 games up on San Francisco.

No team in the NFC has given up fewer points so far (172), and only two have scored more points themselves (272).

Which Other Teams Are Near The Top Of The Oddsboard?

The Rams will face a few more tough tests before the end of the NFL regular season. They still have a game against the Detroit Lions as well another against the Seahawks, but Los Angeles has an important contest before all of that. This coming weekend, they will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a crucial NFC showdown, which will be played in Los Angeles and is scheduled for prime-time on Sunday night.

The Rams and Eagles are atop the odds board, but there are a couple of AFC teams lurking. With their big win over Tampa Bay on Sunday, the Buffalo Bills now have the third-shortest odds at +850, followed by the Indianapolis Colts at +900. The Seahawks round out the top-5 at +1000.

Perhaps interestingly, the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots, who share the league-best 9-2 mark, are 9th and 10th on the odds board (+1300 & +1500).
