How will LA Rams and Matthew Stafford follow up SB win In 2022?

It’s finally happened. It only took 12 years with the Detroit Lions, and then one year with the LA Rams. After 13 years, LA Rams QB Matthew Stafford finally got that elusive Super Bowl victory. Finally, after years of coming up empty, both the Rams and Stafford are sitting atop of the NFL.

The Rams were viewed as a team going “All In” when they packaged QB Jared Goff and three draft picks to acquire Stafford. Now, that deal seems less like a high-risk gamble and more like a sure-fire fire sale of Stafford’s services.  It’s hard not to view the Rams as the runaway winners of that trade with the Detroit Lions just one year ago.

In the NFL Playoffs, through four games where he was 4-0, he threw nine touchdown passes with three interceptions. He threw for 1,188 yards and averaged almost 300 yards per game with an accuracy of 70.0 percent completion rate. His quarterback rating was 108.3. But most of all, he was vital in all of their playoff victories. That game-winning drive and no-look pass to WR Cooper Kupp will go down as the iconic moment in Super Bowl LVI.

• • Bills (+700)
  • Chiefs (+700)
  • Rams (+1200)
  • Bengals (+1200)
  • 49ers (+1200)

So what does this all mean? Well, it means that the oddsmakers believe that both the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs are the early favorites to win Super Bowl LVII, and have set their odds at 7-to-1. Close behind are the LA Rams, the Cincinnati Bengals, and the San Francisco 49ers, all of whom are considered 12-to-1 odds to win Super Bowl LVII.

So how does that work? Well, for a $100 wager on the LA Rams, you would win a payout of $1,200 if the Rams repeat as Super Bowl winners next year. Is it worth wagering now? In all honesty, it may be wise to wait if you intend to bet on the LA Rams. Historically, optimism wanes on the Rams after the NFL reshuffles players via the NFL Free Agency market. And with the LA Rams having almost exclusive Day 3 draft picks in the 2022 NFL Draft, other teams will surely be viewed in a more favorable light.
