The Los Angeles Rams have dramatically improved their Super Bowl odds this NFL season, rising from a mere 4 percent chance at the start to a current position of second place among all teams. With a 7-2 record, their odds are now set at +700, indicating a probability of over 12 percent for claiming the championship. This places them just behind the Kansas City Chiefs, who are favored at +550, translating to approximately 15 percent.
The Rams’ odds could shorten even further if they secure a victory in their upcoming matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, who also boast a strong record. Despite fluctuations in weekly performance, the Rams have consistently demonstrated their competitiveness this season.
Week 10 saw the Philadelphia Eagles also climb in the odds after defeating the Green Bay Packers. They share the second spot with the Rams, both teams now at +700. The Eagles’ recent form has solidified their position, moving up from +750 last week, while the Buffalo Bills have slipped to +900 following a surprising loss to the Miami Dolphins.
The Rams and Eagles are not the only teams in contention for the Super Bowl. The Detroit Lions maintain strong odds at +750, despite having three losses. The Indianapolis Colts follow at +1100, while the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots sit at +1800 and +2000, respectively. John Ewing, PR manager of media insights at BetMGM, stated, “The trading team doesn’t overreact to weekly performances. Both the Lions and Chiefs were expected to be among the best teams in the NFL before the season began.”
As the season progresses, the Rams and Eagles will face off against other leading teams, including the Lions, in crucial upcoming games. The Rams are currently 2.5-point favorites against the Seahawks, while the Eagles are set to host the Lions as 2.5-point favorites as well.
In the AFC, three teams have achieved eight wins, yet none rank in the top five for Super Bowl odds. The Bills must rebound quickly against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to regain momentum after their recent setbacks. Their odds are now positioned at +900, down from +600 before Week 10.
Looking ahead, the Colts possess the best Super Bowl odds in the AFC at +1100. They are currently on a bye week, but their upcoming game against the Chiefs in Week 12 may significantly impact their odds. In the meantime, the Patriots are also in a favorable position with a relatively simple upcoming schedule.
Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens have seen a resurgence, improving their odds from 25-to-1 earlier in the season to 14-to-1 as they ride a three-game winning streak. They will face the Cleveland Browns next, where they are favored by eight points.
As teams continue to jockey for playoff positions, the upcoming games will be critical in determining the Super Bowl landscape. The Rams, Eagles, and Lions are poised to make a strong case as potential champions, while teams in the AFC will be looking to solidify their standings as the season progresses.
