Sean McVay and his Los Angeles Rams are strong contenders in one of the NFL’s toughest divisions. The Rams are in constant competition with the Seattle Seahawks, and the Arizona Cardinals is a team on the rise. The San Francisco 49ers could also see some improvement in the future.
But right now, the Rams are the best team in the NFC West to see for your Super Bowl bets. The Rams have a +1000 line to win Super Bowl LV. The team is 9-4 and still has games with Seattle and Arizona left, plus a game with the New York Jets that shouldn’t be tough to figure.
The Rams are a quality team that deserves attention when you’re looking at possible Super Bowl bets. It will be tough for the Rams to secure the top overall spot in the NFC, as the New Orleans Saints have a better chance there. But the Rams have several qualities that make them a suitable choice for your Super Bowl bets.
A Thorough Passing Game
Jared Goff has 3,500 passing yards through thirteen games and has eighteen touchdowns. He completes close to 70 percent of his passes, but he has also thrown eleven interceptions this year.
Goff still has multiple receiving options, including Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods. Tyler Higbee and Gerald Everett have both shown promise at the tight end position. Cam Akers has also shown skills in third-down situations.
The Rams do have one problem with the passing game, as left tackle Andrew Whitworth is out with an injury. The team hopes he can come back in time for the playoffs, but whether he can get back in such a fragile position by then is unclear. Whitworth has been one of Goff’s top blockers this season.
How the Rushing Looks
Darrell Henderson and Cam Akers are the two main running backs on the Rams roster. The two have 500 rushing yards each, while Malcolm Brown has more than 350 yards. Brown is used mainly for short-distance situations, while Henderson and Akers are all-purpose backs who can also be used as receiving threats if necessary.

Figuring Out the Kicking Position
The Rams have Matt Gay as their current kicker. The team went through Samuel Sloman and Kai Forbath earlier this season. Matt Gay is hoping to be the solution for this position.
He has a 6-8 field goal total in four games, and he has completed all thirteen of his extra points. Sloman and Forbath showed extreme inconsistency, and Sloman even missed three extra points. Gay will likely be the kicker for the team for the rest of the season.
A Punishing Defense
The Los Angeles Rams have one of the league’s toughest defenses. The Rams have 42 sacks, with Aaron Donald totalling 12.5 sacks. Leonard Floyd also has 7.5 sacks, while Morgan Fox and Justin Hollins have also been active.
The Rams defense can also come through in clutch situations. The Rams currently limit their opponents to completing about a third of their third-down attempts, plus their opponents have converted less than half of their fourth-down attempts.
Choosing the Rams
The Los Angeles Rams will be a great team to watch in the coming months. They are a great team for your Super Bowl bets, as the Rams have plenty of quality players on both sides of the ball. The team is still improving, making them one of the best Super Bowl bets around.
