The Los Angeles Rams came into the 2026 season as one of the biggest Super Bowl favorites in recent years. Their pre-season odds were +500, which was far better than the next-closest team, the Buffalo Bills (+1000).
Unsurprisingly, the Rams' odds to win it all have changed following their 2-3 start to the year, but one thing hasn't: They're somehow still the favorites.
BetMGM lists the Rams with the best odds to win Super Bowl LXI at +700. The Bills, who just beat the Rams, have the second-best odds at +750, tied with the undefeated 49ers. Then it's the Ravens (+800), Chiefs (+900) and Seahawks (+1100) rounding out the top six.
The Rams should still be a playoff team, but they're quickly letting a division title slip away. That means they could
have go to on the road in the playoffs, just as they did last year against the Panthers, Bears and Seahawks. The 49ers are the heavy favorites to win the NFC West at -225, followed by the Rams at +400 and the Seahawks at +450. That gives the 49ers an implied probability of 69% to win the division.
And yet, the Rams still have better Super Bowl odds than their rivals.
Los Angeles clearly hasn't hit its stride yet, but it could in the coming weeks. The Rams will face the Cardinals twice, the Raiders, Chargers and Commanders in the next five weeks before their bye. After that, the schedule gets tough again, but we could see the Rams hit their Week 11 bye at 7-3 if they win their next five.
