The Super Bowl hangover is real. Just ask the Los Angeles Rams. Sean McVay's brightly-colored squad went all the way last year and won a well-deserved championship. But Los Angeles is in trouble this year — as much trouble as a 2-2 reigning champion can be, anyway. Matthew Stafford is good, but's also developed quite a penchant for gifting the ball to the opposition. His offensive line is leakier than the Mets' front office. The running game is mostly theoretical.'
One of their two losses came at the hands of the Bills, a si de regarded by many as the best in the sport. L.A.'s 24-9 loss to the 49ers on Monday night was emblematic of the problems surrounding the team. Three of the Rams' next four games will be played against the Cowboys, Niners and Buccaneers. Things could get weird in a hurry.'
Again, the Rams just won a ring. They deserve the benefit of the doubt for that alone, and they're still a top-10 team in our ranking. For now.
Updated NFL futures odds from Caesars Sportsbook list the Bills as the favorite to win a ring at +400, followed by the Chiefs at +700 and Eagles at +750. The Packers sit at +1000, the Buccaneers at +1200, the Ravens at +1500, and the Rams at +1600.
