The Los Angeles Rams have become one of the most electrifying teams in the NFL since the team hired head coach Sean McVay in 2017. As the defending Super Bowl Champions, the Rams have started the 2022 NFL season with a target on their backs.
The Rams won the Lombardi Trophy in their home stadium, and all signs point to another potential playoff run, and maybe even another Rams Super Bowl appearance. Given how difficult it is to repeat as Super Bowl Champions, however, projecting the Rams season is a tough task.

Rams 2022 Win Total: How Many Games Will the Rams Win?
Before the start of the season, oddsmakers at DraftKings Sportsbook set the Rams win total for the 2022 season at over/under 10.5 wins. Bettors have the option to wager on Over 10.5 wins (11 wins or more), or Under 10.5 wins (10 wins or less).
The Rams have won at least 10 games in all but one season under Sean McVay, but it's never easy to bounce back strong after a Super Bowl win. Compared to the rest of the NFL, only three teams have higher win totals: Tampa Bay (Over/Under 11.5 wins), Buffalo (Over/Under 11.5 wins), and Green Bay (Over/Under 11 wins).
When looking at a team’s win total, one thing you should keep in mind is the team’s “strength of schedule.” Based on the opponents' records in the 2021 NFL season, the Rams will face the toughest schedule in the NFL in 2022. This, combined with the "Super Bowl Hangover" aspect, makes for a tough decision for bettors.
