After reaching Super Bowl LIII and losing to the Patriots, expectations were extremely high for the Rams in 2019. That’s not necessarily the case for this team heading into the 2020 campaign, though.
Los Angeles went 9-7 last season, missing the playoffs for the first time under Sean McVay. Their projected win total for 2019 was set at 10.5, tied for second-highest in the NFL behind only the Chiefs. The oddsmakers have lowered their expectations for the Rams in 2020, setting their win total lower for the upcoming season.
At BetMGM, the Rams’ projected win total is only 8.5 games, two wins fewer than last year’s line. The over has a line of -106, meaning you’d have to bet $106 to win $100. The under is set at -115, so you’d have to bet $115 to win $100.
Simply finishing above .500 may not seem like a tall task for a team as talented as the Rams, but given all the losses they’ve suffered and the division they play in, it’s hardly a given.
Los Angeles still has a lot of talent on its roster – led by Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey, Jared Goff and Cooper Kupp – but there are also holes that need to be filled after countless free-agent departures.
