2024 Rams Season | 87th in the National Football League | 8th under head coach Sean McVay
2023: 10-7 record / 2nd NFC West
Rams Win/Loss Odds for the 2024 Season
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay believes his squad has improved enough to challenge the San Francisco 49ers for the NFC West Division title.
McVay believes that although first ballot future hall of fame player Aaron Donald, arguably the greatest defensive lineman in NFL history, retired, the Rams improved their defense to the point where it can stop Brock Purdy, Deebo Samuel, Christian McCaffrey and the vaunted Niners offense.
Is McVay right? Will the Rams win enough games this season to challenge SF and go over their win total?

Los Angeles Rams Win/Loss Total Odds
NFL bettors are backing over:
- Over 8.5 wins -144
- Under 8.5 wins +118
NFL bettors are backing over
Most NFL betting handicappers believe the Rams win at least 9 games this season.
The main reason for the bullishness is because of the total.
At 8.5, the win total implies the Rams go 9-8 during the regular season.
Sean McVay’s teams almost always boast at least a .500 record.
So although it looks as if over bettors are super bullish on the Rams, the truth is that they’re playing the percentages.
McVay is a good enough strategist to coach the Rams to at least 2 wins in games they are in danger of losing.
The -144 payout reflects that sentiment.
Keep reading for a list of the games the Rams should send to the win column.

Rams go over or under their win total.

Remaining key games on the Los Angeles Rams 2024 NFL Regular Season Schedule
NFL Week 1 at Detroit Lions
Pro football schedulers didn’t shy away from making important playoff implication matchups in NFL Week 1.
Baltimore takes on Kansas City.
The Eagles battle the Packers and the Rams throw down against the Lions.
The Lions are a legit Super Bowl contender.
The Rams are borderline at this point even though the offensive line should be stellar and the defense has a potential NFL Rookie of the Year candidate in Florida State star Jared Verse.
Detroit starts their SB quest off with a victory.
NFL Week 2 at Arizona Cardinals
Arizona is improved but it takes two to tango, meaning Marvin Harrison Jr.
requires Kyler Murray to step up his game if Harrison Jr.
hopes to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Jared Verse will have a big season because Ernest Jones IV should breakout as one of the league’s best linebackers.
The Cards won’t be block both and Matthew Stafford and the offense will roll Arizona’s decent but unspectacular defense.
Rams score the victory.
NFL Week 3 vs San Francisco 49ers
The NFC West’s most important matchup of the season happens early when San Francisco travels to SoFi Stadium to battle Stafford, Puca Nucua, Copper Kupp, Kyren Williams and the Rams.
The Niners are a Super Bowl favorite.
Ah, but this happens on the Rams’ field and Trent Williams, the best offensive tackle in the NFL and the reason Purdy has developed into a quarterback star, is a training camp holdout.
Williams may not be in a 49ers uniform for this and even if he is, will he be in playing shape? Rams pull off the upset win.
NFL Week 4 at Chicago Bears
The Bears aren’t a doormat team.
Even if Caleb Williams isn’t this season’s C.J. Stroud, he should have a decent rookie year because the offensive line is good and he’s got one of the top trio of wide receivers in the league in Keenan Allen, D.J. Moore, and Washington rookie Rome Odunze.
Those three are going to bailout Williams all season.
Running back De’Andre Swift is terrific.
The Bears defense will be solid.
The Rams can win this game, but it’s likelier that Chicago gets the W.
NFL Week 5 vs Green Bay Packers
The love for Green Bay has become almost deafening.
It’s tough seeing the Packers overtaking the Lions, but Green Bay will be a solid squad.
The key will be fore the Packers to protect Jordan Love and that may be the issue in this.
Verse and Jones IV should beat up seventh round draft pick and starting left tackle Rasheed Walker.
It’s asking a lot of Walker, a mammoth 6’ 6” human being that weighs 324 pounds, to be nimble enough to keep Verse and Jones IV from getting to Love.
Rams win.
NFL Week 9 at Seattle Seahawks
Pete Carroll has retired and former Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Mike MacDonald is his replacement in Seattle.
MacDonald inherits a team with some talent.
If Geno Smith returns one hudnred percent, the offense should be stellar.
Charles Cross has developed into one of the NFL’s top left tackles.
DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba make for a formidable trio of wide receivers.
Kenneth Walker III is one of the best running backs in the NFL.
The Rams win the first game but in the rematch, the Seahawks takes it.
NFL Week 12 vs Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles defense was a disaster in 2023.
It was so bad that Nick Siriani made a massive change by bringing in old school defensive coordinator and legend Vic Fangio.
No doubt, Fangio will get the best out of Philly’s defenders.
One issue, though, is that the Eagles must play this season without Hasson Reddick, who now throws down in New York for the Jets.
But Devin White, Darius Slay, and Jalen Carter should be plenty good enough to help the Eagles contain Stafford and the Rams’ offense.
Still, would you rather have Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith versus the Rams’ D or Staff, Puca, Kupp, and Kyren Williams versus the Eagles’ D? We’re rolling with Stafford and his mates.
Rams win this game.
Final Betting Rams Finish 11-6
The Rams should also beat Miami at home and the Saints on the road to finish the season with 11 wins.
The other three losses happen versus the 49ers on the road, home against Buffalo, Josh Allen is the type of QB that can beat the Rams’ defense, and on the road agianst Aaron Rodgers and the Jets.
At 11-6, the Rams will come close to beating the 49ers for the NFC West’s top spot.
If you’re looking to be the Rams’ total, go over 8.5 victories.
The Rams appear loaded on both sides of the football and Sean McVay will coach the Rams to at least 3 wins.

NFL 2022 Rams Win/Loss Betting Prediction for the Upcoming Season
Previous Betting News
The defending Super Bowl Champion Los Angeles Rams have some of the highest win loss total odds of any team in the NFL. The Rams game total is 10.5. Los Angeles recently made Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in NFL history. With a happy Donald on the defensive line, the Rams should have a good season. But even if it is good, will L.A. win over or under 10 games? Check out a Los Angeles Rams’ win total analysis and prediction so you can plan your bets against their NFL Team Totals Odds.
Los Angeles Rams Win/Loss Total Prediction for the 2022 Season | NFL Betting
2022-23 NFL Regular Season
When: Sep. 8, 2022 – Jan. 8, 2023
Los Angeles Rams Total Win / Loss Total Odds: 10 ½
Why the Los Angeles Rams will win more than 10 games
Quarterback Matthew Stafford will play better this season than he did last season. Stafford threw 17 picks during the regular season. That was the highest in the NFL.
One of the reasons Staff threw so many interceptions is because outside of Cooper Kupp, the Rams didn’t have a pro bowl receiver. This season, though, the Rams signed Allen Robinson away from the Bears.
Robinson is one of the top receivers in the NFL. The Rams made Aaron Donald happy. That also helps the cause.
Why the Los Angeles Rams won’t win more than 10 games
Signing Robinson and making Donald happy is important, but Los Angeles lost a couple of key players form the Super Bowl run that could lead to a disappointing season.
Von Miller, the Rams’ key defensive player during run to the trophy, now plays for the Buffalo Bills. Donald can’t do it all by himself and Bobby Wagner, although very good, is no Von Miller.
Andrew Whitworth, the Rams most important offensive lineman from last year’s squad, retired. The offensive line isn’t nearly as talented, which means rushers will find it easier to get to Stafford.
Not only that but the Rams don’t send great running backs to the field. So all the pressure is on Staff.
Final Betting Analysis: Will the Los Angeles Rams win at least 11 games?
Not only must the Rams win games without Miller and Whitworth, but the schedule, because Los Angeles won the Super Bowl, is ridiculous.
The Rams start the season playing 4-of-6 at home. Los Angeles should go no worse than 4-2 straight up in those games.
But after the week 7 bye, things get dicey. Forget the fact the Rams must play 11 straight games. LAR must play 6-of-11 on the road.
In one 4-game stretch, the Rams are on the road versus Tampa, New Orleans, and Kansas City. Then in a 4-game stretch to end the season, Los Angeles has road games versus Green Bay, the Los Angeles Chargers, and Seattle.
In addition, the Los Angeles Rams must play 4 of the 5 Super Bowl favorites: Buffalo, Tampa Bay, Kansas City, and Green Bay. The only reason the Rams can’t play the fifth SB chalk is because they are the fifth favorite to win the Lombardi Trophy.
Los Angeles will be one of the better teams in the NFL this season. But just because your good, it doesn’t mean you will win. The schedule is brutal and losing Miller and Whitworth will have an effect. Under looks best.
Los Angeles Rams Win Loss Total Pick: Under 10 ½

NFL 2021 LA Rams Win/Loss Odds Analysis and Betting Prediction
Previous Betting News
Each and every season in the NFL, we see a surprise team or two emerge. These are generally teams that look to be close to competing, but who have a couple of glaring holes that need to be filled before they can take the next step. Heading into last season, the LA Rams were just a couple of seasons removed from a playoff appearance, but they were not the same team that they were back them, plus they had a QB that they did not entirely trust. A couple of stellar offseason moves later, this team has moved from dark horse category to potential championship expectations. Whether that plays out that way remains to be seen. Let’s take a closer look at the 2021 LA Rams so you can plan your bets against their NFL Team Totals odds.
LA Rams Win/Loss Betting Odds and Prediction for the 2021-22 Season
Rams Divisional and Playoff Chances
Before we can look forward, it’s always a good idea to look back at what went down last year. The expectation was that the rams would likely be a .500 team at best, but they surprised a lot of people by going 10-6 and landing themselves a spot in the Wild Card. Much of that success came via the defense, which was the only one in the NFC to surrender less than 300 points in the regular season. Perhaps no surprise then that Aaron Donald won the defensive Player of the Year award.
You can argue that the Rams benefitted from a 49ers team that was ravaged by injury and a Cardinals squad that underperformed to a certain degree, but you still need to go out and win those games. We will get into the changes that they made this offseason in a moment, but let’s first look at the current odds for the Rams. This division is about as tight as it gets, but it is the Rams who are in as the favorites to win the NFC West at odds of +200.
Rams 2021 Schedule and Win Total
One of the biggest knocks on the Rams has been that while Jared Goff is a decent enough QB, he is not the man to take them to the promised land. That excuse is now gone, as Goff was shipped out to Detroit in exchange for Matthew Stafford, which is a significant upgrade. The word on Stafford in LA is that he has been better than advertised, but the big question is whether or not he can stay healthy all season long.
The Rams start this season at home against the Chicago Bears, which you would think should be a winning start. Their next 4 games, 2 of which are divisional are all tough, with the Bucs in that mix, but then they have a stretch against the Giants, Lions, and Texans, all of which should come with a W attached. They get their bye in Week 11 and then have a rather brutal stretch in the second half of the season, with big divisional games in there, as well as outings against the Packers and Ravens.
The win total for the Rams at the moment is set at 10, but you would have to say that their success depends very much on Stafford staying healthy from start to finish. If he can manage that, then we are looking at the total going over.

Los Angeles Rams 2019 Season Win/Loss Total Odds & Prediction
Previous Betting News
After reaching Super Bowl 53 – and coming up woefully short of challenging Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in a stunning 13-3 defeat that saw their high-powered offense utterly dominated, NFL fans and betting enthusiasts everywhere need to know whether quarterback Jared Goff can take his game to another level to help his Los Angeles Rams live up to the Super Bowl hopes they nearly fulfilled a year ago.
If you’re an NFL betting enthusiast that wants to know just how the Rams are going to do against their value-packed MYBookie NFL Win Total Odds, then you’re in luck!
Thanks to the expert NFL predictions that you’re about to get on each and every game on Rams’ upcoming 2019 docket, you’re going to have a great idea of just how many games Los Angeles will win this coming season.
The Rams finished the 2018 season ranked second in total offense and second in scoring (32.9 ppg). Unfortunately, they fell way short of expectations defensively despite acquiring several veterans that were supposed to put them over the top. L.A. ranked an uninspiring 19th in total defense and an even more discouraging 20th in points allowed (24.0 ppg).
Los Angeles Rams 2019 Season Win/Loss Total Odds & Prediction
Week 1 at Carolina
While I’m expecting Carolina to be better than they were a year ago, I just don’t see the Panthers getting the point production they’ll need to win this contest. Win. 1-0.
Week 2 vs. New Orleans
Outside of Los Angeles, there isn’t an NFL fan alive that doesn’t want to see New Orleans dish out some big-time payback for their 26-23 overtime loss in the NFC Championship game that resulted because of one of the worst blown calls in NFL history. Karma’s a b*#*h! New Orleans wins. 1-1.
Week 3 at Cleveland
The Browns will definitely be better than they were last season when they made a dramatic improvement, but I’m going with L.A. to get back in the win column following their Week 2 home loss. Win. 2-1.
Week 4 vs. Tampa Bay
The Rams make it two straight by putting at least 30 on the board against the Bucs. Win. 3-1.
Week 5 at Seattle
The Rams got past the Seahawks 33-31 in Seattle in Week 5, but I’m going with Russell Wilson and a very good Seattle team to take care of business at home this time around. Loss. 3-2.
Week 6 vs. San Francisco
The Niners are hoping Jimmy G can make a successful return from ACL surgery, but it doesn’t matter who’s under center for Frisco in this one. The Rams are the better team in all three phases. Win. 4-2.
Week 7 at Atlanta
With Atlanta at home in this one, I like Matt Ryan to outplay Jared Goff to lead the Falcons to the super narrow win. 4-3.
Week 8 vs. Cincinnati
There’s a new head coach in Cincinnati, but I believe we’re going to see the same old underachieving Bengals more often than not in 2019. Win. 5-3.
Week 9 BYE
The Rams have some rest right after the midseason mark, a great week to have it.
Week 10 at Pittsburgh
The Steelers will be locked in and focused by the time this Week 10 matchup rolls around and that means the Rams narrowly fall in the Steel City. Loss. 5-4.
Week 11 vs. Chicago
The Rams will be looking for payback for their humbling 15-6 road loss against Chicago last season, but I don’t think they’re going to get it. Khalil Mack makes minced-meat out of Jared Goff to lead the Bears to the huge road win. Loss. 5-5.
Week 12 vs. Baltimore
L.A.’s veteran defensive players manage to keep Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson largely in check to get the narrow win in a tightly contested contest. Win. 6-5.
Week 13 at Arizona
I’m going to say the Rams get the huge road win in an absolute shootout that results in both teams putting 40 points on the board. Win. 7-5.
Week 14 vs. Seattle
The Rams completed their sweep of the Seahawks a year ago by winning 36-31 at home in Week 10 and they’ll win again to improve their playoff hopes. 8-5.
Week 15 at Dallas
The Cowboys were elite defensively a year ago and I believe they’re going to be just as good if not better on that side of the ball in 2019. With that said, I like the Boys to hold it down at home out of sheer desperation and a heavy dose of Ezekiel Elliott. Loss. 8-6.
Week 16 at San Francisco
Los Angeles swept inferior San Francisco a year ago and I’ve got them completing the sweep again in 2019. Win. 9-6.
Week 17 vs. Arizona
The Rams complete another regular season sweep against one of their NFC West division rivals to finish at 10-6.
Final Expert Prediction
While I’ve got the Rams coming up just short of topping their win total odds, It’s quite possible they could beat Pittsburgh on the road in Week 10 and Chicago at home a week later, not to mention, Dallas in Week 15. Either way, I believe it’s going to be a close call for the Rams as far as their win total odds are concerned.
Prediction: 10 Wins
Los Angeles Rams 2018 NFL Win/Loss Odds Prediction
Previous Betting News
The Los Angeles Rams took the league by storm a year ago by becoming one of the most memorable ‘worst-to-first’ teams in recent NFL memory. Not only did the Rams win the NFC West in 2017, but they completely transformed their franchise from a dull, mostly moribund group of underachievers under former head coach Jeff Fisher into one of the most entertaining teams and most explosive offenses in the league under now, second-year head coach Sean McVay.
Now, as they get set for the upcoming 2018 regular season, the Rams are looking to build on their fantastic 11-win season from a year ago, while making a legitimate run at reaching Super Bowl 53 at the very least. If you’re looking to cash in on L.A.’s regular season win total odds and you need a bit of assistance with figuring out just how many games the Rams will win this coming season, then look no further. I’ve got you covered NFL betting enthusiasts!
Los Angeles Rams 2018 NFL Win/Loss Odds Prediction
Los Angeles Rams Win Total Odds – 9
Week 1: Monday, Sept. 10, at Oakland Raiders, 10:20 p.m. ET
The Rams might be on the road in their regular season opener. But I like them to get the win against a Raiders team that is in a bit of a reload mode under former head coach Jon Gruden. This one looks like a thriller just waiting to happen. Win. 1-0.
Week 2: Sunday, Sept. 16, vs. Arizona Cardinals, 4:05 p.m. ET
The Cardinals will have a new head coach and new starting quarterback in 2018 and that just doesn’t bode well heading into their Week 2 matchup against their NFC West division rivals. Win. 2-0.
Week 3: Sunday, Sept. 23, vs. Los Angeles Chargers, 4:05 p.m. ET
Both of these teams have legitimate Super Bowl hopes, but only one has the masterful Wade Phillips on their sideline. I like the Rams for the narrow ‘road upset’. Win. 3-0.
Week 4: Thursday, Sept. 27, vs. Minnesota Vikings, 8:20 p.m. ET
After losing to their conference rivals 24-7 in Week 11 last season, Jared Goff and the Rams will be looking for revenge against in this Thursday Night Football showdown. I like the Rams to get it in their third thriller in four weeks. Win. 4-0.
Week 5: Sunday, Oct. 7, at Seattle Seahawks, 4:25 p.m. ET
The Rams split with the division rival Seahawks last season and I expect more of the same in 2018. Loss. 4-1.
Week 6: Sunday, Oct. 14, at Denver Broncos, 4:05 p.m. ET
Can former Rams quarterback Case Keenum duplicate his career season from a year ago? Maybe, but I don’t think the Broncos have the defense to stop L.A. Win. 5-1.
Week 7: Sunday, Oct. 21, at San Francisco 49ers, 8:20 p.m. ET
The Niners narrowly lost to the Rams last season and then beat L.A. The Rams beat the Niners senseless in their 34-13 Week 17 road win, but lost to Frisco 41-39 in Week 3. I’m sensing a regular season split is looming in 2018. Loss. 5-2.
Week 8: Sunday, Oct. 28, vs. Green Bay Packers, 4:25 p.m. ET
Jared Goff won’t necessarily outplay fellow Cal alumn Aaron Rodgers in this Week 8 showdown, but I like the Rams to get the big home win over Green Bay, especially seeing as how I expect the Packers defense to be mediocre at best this coming season. Win. 6-2.
Week 9: Sunday, Nov. 4, at New Orleans Saints, 4:25 p.m. ET
The Rams picked up a hard-fought home win over the Saints in Week 12 last season, but Drew Brees and company get some revenge in this Week 9 matchup of Super Bowl title contenders. Loss. 7-2.
Week 10: Sunday, Nov. 11, vs. Seattle Seahawks, 4:25 p.m. ET
The Rams get some revenge for their Week 5 road loss in Seattle. Win. 8-2.
Week 11: Monday, Nov. 19, vs. Kansas City Chiefs, 8:15 p.m. ET
I like Kansas City second-year quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but I’ve got to believe that Wade Phillips is going to find a way to confuse him in this matchup in Mexico. Win. 9-2.
Week 12: Bye.
Week 13: Sunday, Dec. 2, at Detroit Lions, 1:00 p.m. ET
The Lions have a first-time head coach in Matt Patricia and a bunch of questions marks at several key positions on both sides of the ball. The Rams win in Week 13 despite being on the road. Win. 10-2.
Week 14: Sunday, Dec. 9, at Chicago Bears, 1:00 p.m. ET
I like second-year Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky but he’s going to have a tough way to go against Aqib TTalib, Marcus Peters, Ndamukong Suh and Aaron Donald. Win. 11-2.
Week 15: Sunday, Dec. 16, vs. Philadelphia Eagles, 8:20 p.m. ET
Philly quarterback Carson Wentz injured his knee in last year’s Week 14 matchup, but the Birds still managed to get the high-scoring 43-35 win en route to the Super Bowl. This time around, Wentz avoids injury and Philly wins another thriller! Loss. 11-3.
Week 16: Sunday, Dec. 23, vs. Arizona Cardinals, 4:05 p.m. ET
Sweep, sweep, sweep. The superior Rams hold it down at home just prior to the playoffs! Win. 12-3.
Week 17: Sunday, Dec. 30, at San Francisco 49ers, 4:25 p.m. ET
The Rams get some revenge for their Week 7 road loss against Jimmy G and the Niners! Win 13-3.
The Rams are an absolute lock to top their super easy win total odds of nine victories in 2018. Throw some coold hard cash on this one for the easy pickings! Over 9 Wins!
LA Rams 2017 NFL Season Total Wins Prediction & Betting Odds
Previous Betting News
I’m sure that citizens of the great city of St. Louis are bummed that the no longer have an NFL team, but they probably didn’t mind so much last year as their Rams went to Los Angeles and were borderline unwatchable offensively. Will things be any better in Year 2 on the West Coast? The NFL odds for the 2017 season doesn’t benefit the LA Rams. In other words, doubtful.

Odds To Win NFC: +4000
Odds To Win Super Bowl LI: +8000
2016 Season Recap
The LA Rams traded a bunch of picks to move up to No. 1 in last year’s draft and select Cal quarterback Jared Goff. He didn’t play until around midseason and looked absolutely lost when on the field.
That might not be all Goff’s fault as he had a terrible offensive line and group of receivers – not to mention awful play-calling. But it has to be concerning. LA finished the year on an 0-7 run with Goff in the lineup.
Jared Goff Didn’t Live Up to the Hype
The rookie signal-caller completed just 54.6 percent of his passes for 1,089 yards and a staggering 5.3 yards per attempt. The Rams were dead last in the NFL in yards each of the past two years, but their struggles are even deeper and more pronounced than that.
They also have finished within the bottom 10 in yards per game each of the past 10 years. During that 10-year stretch, they didn’t have a Pro Bowl quarterback and only had two 1,000-yard receivers — Torry Holt in 2007 and Kenny Britt in 2016.
Using its defense-adjusted value over average metric, Football Outsiders ranked the 2016 Rams as the fourth-worst offense in the past 30 years.
How Bad Was 2016?
Los Angeles finished 32nd overall in total offense and was the only NFL team not to average 300 yards last season. In fact, no team since the 2011 Jacksonville Jaguars averaged fewer total yards per game than the 2016 Rams.
Late last year, the Rams fired coach Jeff Fisher. Fisher’s firing came one day after a 42-14 blowout loss at home to the Atlanta Falcons. It was the Rams’ third consecutive lopsided defeat, and it put the team at 4-9 and handed Fisher his 165th career loss, tying Dan Reeves for the NFL record.
It was long overdue. The Rams never finished better than 7-8-1 under him and since Fisher took over in 2012, the organization had been plagued by an ineffective offense and a continual rash of penalties.
New Faces Everywhere
The Rams focused on offense this offseason, adding offense-minded Sean McVay as coach, former Atlanta Falcons quarterbacks coach Matt LaFleur as offensive coordinator and experienced Greg Olson as quarterbacks coach. All of the moves were made with Goff’s development in mind.
McVay, 31, spent the last three seasons as the Washington Redskins’ offensive coordinator. Last season, Washington ranked third in the NFL in total offense and second in passing. At left tackle, the Rams swapped Greg Robinson for Andrew Whitworth. At center, Tim Barnes was replaced by John Sullivan.
Who Will Be Catching and Running the Ball this Season?
At receiver, Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp will take the place of Britt and Brian Quick. At tight end, Tyler Higbee is primed to absorb the targets that were once directed at Lance Kendricks. Only six of those expected to start the 2017 season were starters on offense during the stretch run last season.
I look for a bounce-back season for running back Todd Gurley. He finished third league-wide with 1,106 rushing yards as a rookie two years ago in only 13 games and won Offensive Rookie of the Year. Gurley faltered in his second season, running for 221 fewer yards despite 49 more carries.
With a new head coach, revamped offensive line and natural improvement from the skill positions, there are plenty of reasons for optimism.
LA Rams 2017 NFL Schedule & Betting Odds
The LA Rams will lose a traditional home game for the second straight year by hosting division-rival Arizona from London. The 2017 schedule will be challenging, but not as difficult as the one from 2016.
They will travel all the way to Eastern Standard Time only twice, to face the Giants and Jaguars. In 2016, they played seven games against playoff teams. In 2017, they’ll play five games against teams coming off a playoff appearance.
Final 2017 LA Rams Season Prediction
This team simply can’t be as bad offensively as last year. Goff was picked No. 1 for a reason. Gurley has Pro Bowl talent. Still not a huge fan of the receivers, though. Defensively, this is a good club, led by defensive tackle Aaron Donald, one of the best in the NFL regardless of position.
If the offense could just put up 21 points a game, the Rams could sniff .500. I’m going over that total: Rams finish 6-10.
2016 Los Angeles Rams Season Win Total Prediction
Previous Betting News
The Los Angeles Rams may or may not be any good this season but they will be interesting as the team returns to LA for the first time in more than two decades, will be featured on HBO’s”Hard Knocks” and has reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Todd Gurley as well as 2016 No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff at quarterback. L.A. has a wins total of 7 on NFL odds for this season.
Let’s Take a Look at the 2016 Los Angeles Rams Season Win Total Prediction
Total Win/Loss Odds Overview
The Rams’ bold move to land a quarterback might pay off in due time but it probably won’t be this year as they still lack the weapons in the passing game and on the offensive line to translate to immediate postseason success. Subtracting four starters on defense and the many moving parts of the first season in Los Angeles will make it difficult. But, the schedule lines up favorably and the Rams might be able to get to .500 for the first time since 2006.
Why Bet On The Over?
Because Todd Gurley is the best young running back in the NFL. Asked on NFL Network where he should go in fantasy drafts, Gurley said there’s no question in his mind that he should be the top pick. “No. 1 overall for sure.” The 10th pick in the 2015 draft, he had overcome a knee injury that ended his final season at Georgia. He did not play until the Rams’ third game but finished the season with more rushing yards than all but two players and made the Pro Bowl. Gurley had 229 carries for 1,106 yards and 10 touchdowns.
The Rams have been open about their desire for Goff to win the starting job sooner than later and he likely will, but his development through camp and the preseason will be critical in shaping the team’s expectations and season. The Rams will take their time in naming him the starter, but they didn’t give up six premium picks to move from No. 15 to No. 1 for Goff to watch Case Keenum from the sideline. Reports began to swirl during OTAs that Goff was really struggling to take care of the ball. It’s especially alarming considering the spring is when young guys usually look their best.
Why Bet On The Under?
For the Rams’ vaunted pass rush to live up to its potential, defensive end Robert Quinn needs to return to the dominant form that had him in the discussion among the league’s top pass-rushers. Quinn is coming off back surgery that kept him out of eight games last season, and the team is bringing him along slowly. During the offseason program, Quinn was limited in what he could do on the field but did get back to a normal weight room regimen. The Rams could miss the play and leadership of linebacker James Laurinaitis and end Chris Long, who were cut. Cornerback Janoris Jenkins and safety Rodney McLeod left via free agency.
The Rams likely have too many holes to contend for the playoffs in their first year back in California after 21 gone. But this year is about getting Goff ready to be good. He did overcome a 1-11 rookie year at Cal to be a very good college quarterback. With the Rams, he should hand it to Gurley 400 times and try to survive his bad receiving corps and hope his defense, with the loss of four cornerstone players, can be as good as it was last year.
If there’s a clear area in which the Rams must improve to be competitive in 2016, it’s the club’s passing game. Los Angeles did plenty to address the unit over the course of the offseason, beginning with promoting Rob Boras to offensive coordinator and hiring Mike Groh to be the team’s passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach. Jared Goff will need weapons to emerge on the perimeter and down the field, which means Tavon Austin improving on his 473 yards receiving and 434 yards rushing yards a year ago and someone among the outside receiving corps developing into a dependable downfield threat. Kenny Britt returns for his third season with the Rams, also an incumbent starter. Still recovering from offseason surgery, he went through rehab drills on the side for much of OTAs.
My Betting Prediction
Maybe Goff will be really good someday, but he’s likely going to be in over his head in 2016. Go under on NFL betting lines.
