Bet on the Rams for Superbowl 2018
Do you want to bet on the Rams for Superbowl 52? Because you can believe it or not! You read that correctly, this year the Los Angeles Rams have a legit shot and making it to the Super Bowl thus today’s piece of Rams for 2018 Super Bowl online betting picks and predictions.
The Los Angeles Rams finished last season 4-12, so it wasn’t a surprise they weren’t considered Super Bowl contenders going into the season. Now, after 12 games, the Rams are 9-3 and on top of the NFC West. They also have the 6th best odds of winning the Super Bowl at +1200.
So, how did the Rams become Super Bowl contenders?
It all started with the team firing former head coach Jeff Fisher last season and hiring Sean McVay to take over as the head coach. One of McVay’s first actions as coach was hiring Wade Phillips, who had been the defensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos, winning a Super Bowl in 2015.
Phillips, who many thought would be named the head coach in Denver after Gary Kubiak stepped down for health reasons was passed over for Vance Joseph, and the Broncos decided not to bring him back.
Denver defense, which was one of the best under Phillips, is currently one of the worst in the league this year. The Rams defense on the other hand, has become one of the best in the league this year and are holding opponents to 18.5 points per game, which is 7th in the league.
Offensively, McVay has been able to get Jared Goff to buy into his system, and the second year quarterback has been one of the best in the league this year. Running back Todd Gurley, who struggled last season, has returned to form and is having a great season.
The Rams, who were the definition of offensive ineptitude last year, are averaging 30.1 points per game, which is first in the league this year.
In fact, the Rams might be the most complete team in the NFL this season, but they aren’t getting the respect they deserve because people aren’t sure if they really are this good or have just been lucky. In any case, do not underestimate the Rams once the playoffs start.
