There is a new NFL team favored to win the Super Bowl.
The Los Angeles Rams are one of the hottest teams in the NFL thanks to their six-game winning streak. They are now 9-2 and have emerged as the new favorite to win the Super Bowl.
SportsBetting.ag on Monday published its odds to win Super Bowl LX. The Rams are the favorite at 4/1, while the 8-3 Eagles, which lost to the Cowboys in Week 12, are second at 7/1.
How hot a team has been lately, as well as point differential, seem to be big indicators when it comes to a team’s odds to win the championship.
Here are the latest odds:
Los Angeles Rams 4/1
Philadelphia Eagles 7/1
Baltimore Ravens 10/1
Indianapolis Colts 10/1
Kansas City Chiefs 10/1
Seattle Seahawks 10/1
Buffalo Bills 12/1
Detroit Lions 12/1
Denver Broncos 14/1
Green Bay Packers 14/1
New England Patriots 14/1
Even though they have won a league-best nine games in a row, the oddsmakers only have the Patriots tied for the 9th-best odds of winning the Super Bowl. They are in the same category as the 7-3-1 Packers and the 9-2 Broncos. The oddsmakers must not believe in those teams despite their strong records.
The Ravens having strong odds at 10/1 indicate the oddsmakers believe heavily in Lamar Jackson and acknowledge how much better of a team they are when he’s at quarterback.
The Rams are in the lead for a number of reasons. They have won six in a row, they lead the NFL in point differential (+127), and they have beaten other strong teams in three straight games (49ers, Seahawks and Bucs). Their quarterback, Matthew Stafford, is also the favorite to win NFL MVP.
