Last week, we looked at the odds the Los Angeles Rams are being given in the win/loss column. Today, we've got a new set of odds from Bovada looking at divisional champion odds...and they're not great for the Rams either.
The Rams are listed at 15/2 odds to take the NFC West which puts them in third:
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| Seattle Seahawks | 10/11 |
| Arizona Cardinals | 7/5 |
| Los Angeles Rams | 15/2 |
| San Francisco 49ers | 20/1 |
One of the things pushing the Rams so far back is the fact that both the Seahawks and Cardinals are good teams. The Rams don't have much wiggle room behind them.
Here's how they stack up against the rest of the league and the other seven divisions:
| Team | Division | Odds |
|---|---|---|
| New England Patriots | AFC East | 5/11 |
| Carolina Panthers | NFC South | 1/2 |
| Green Bay Packers | NFC North | 2/3 |
| Seattle Seahawks | NFC West | 10/11 |
| Pittsburgh Steelers | AFC North | 5/4 |
| Indianapolis Colts | AFC South | 5/4 |
| Arizona Cardinals | NFC West | 7/5 |
| Cincinnati Bengals | AFC North | 7/4 |
| Dallas Cowboys | NFC East | 7/4 |
| Denver Broncos | AFC West | 9/5 |
| Kansas City Chiefs | AFC West | 9/5 |
| Houston Texans | AFC South | 2/1 |
| New York Giants | NFC East | 9/4 |
| Minnesota Vikings | NFC North | 9/4 |
| Baltimore Ravens | AFC North | 11/4 |
| Oakland Raiders | AFC West | 11/4 |
| Jacksonville Jaguars | AFC South | 7/2 |
| Philadelphia Eagles | NFC East | 15/4 |
| Washington | NFC East | 15/4 |
| Buffalo Bills | AFC East | 21/4 |
| New York Jets | AFC East | 21/4 |
| Atlanta Falcons | NFC South | 21/4 |
| New Orleans Saints | NFC South | 6/1 |
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers | NFC South | 6/1 |
| San Diego Chargers | AFC West | 13/2 |
| Los Angeles Rams | NFC West | 15/2 |
| Miami Dolphins | AFC East | 8/1 |
| Chicago Bears | NFC North | 9/1 |
| Detroit Lions | NFC North | 9/1 |
| Tennessee Titans | AFC South | 10/1 |
| Cleveland Browns | AFC North | 20/1 |
| San Francisco 49ers | NFC West | 20/1 |
So no, the Rams aren't in great company but it's largely a function of the top-heaviness of the division and not necessarily an accurate representation of the general quality of the Rams overall.
