Rams 2022 NFL Season Key Developments: November

• November 27: The Rams fall to the Chiefs, 26-10, and move to 3-8 on the season.

• November 13: The Rams drop their third straight game, this time in a 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. After losing another NFC West divisional game, the Rams postseason chances continue to drastically decrease.
• November 6: The Rams suffered another disappointing loss in Week 10, falling to the Tampa Bay Bucs 16-13. The Rams led for most of the game, but a last-minute touchdown drive from Tom Brady led to a frustrating loss for the defending Super Bowl champs.

Rams 2022 NFL Season Key Developments: October

• October 30: Despite the week off to regroup before Week 9, the Rams fell to the 49ers for the second time this season, and moved to 3-4. For the first time this year, the Rams playoff chances dropped well below 50%.
• October 23: The Rams regrouped with a well-timed bye week in Week 7. Throughout the off week, rumors speculated around potential trades and free agent signings over the next several days, with the NFL trade deadline looming. Odell Beckham, Jr., who helped the team win a Super Bowl, is rumored as a potential signee, while other players are speculated as potential trade prospects.
• October 16: The Rams get back to .500 with a comfortable 24-10 win over the Carolina Panthers. The Rams move to 3-3, and it appears the defending Super Bowl champs may be getting back on track.
• October 9: In a marquee conference matchup, the Los Angeles Rams fell to the Dallas Cowboys 22-10 in Week 6. The Rams' odds for the playoffs, division, conference and Super Bowl all took another hit as the team fell to 2-3.
• October 3: In yet another divisional battle, the Los Angeles Rams lose to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 4 on Monday Night Football. Both teams move to 2-2, and the Rams odds for the playoffs, division, conference, and Super Bowl take a hit.

Rams 2022 NFL Season Key Developments: September

• September 25: In an important Week 3 divisional battle, the Rams beat the Arizona Cardinals 20-12 to move to 2-1 on the season. While the Rams playoff odds and division title odds improved, their NFC and Super Bowl odds remain the same across most sportsbooks.
• September 18: The Rams earn their first win of the season with a 31-27 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2. Matthew Stafford and new wide receiver Allen Robinson have a great day, easing the loss of Odell Beckham.
• September 8: As is tradition, the defending Super Bowl champions Rams kick off the 2022 NFL Season in a Thursday Night Football matchup with the Buffalo Bills. Unfortunately for the Rams, the Bills win with ease, 31-10.
• August 9: Los Angeles Rams Head Coach Sean McVay reveals to team reports that he has signed a contract extension this offseason, and will remain coaching the Rams for the foreseeable future.

After a tough loss to the Cowboys, the latest Rams playoff chances are 2.4% entering Week 15, which is an implied probability percentage calculated by their current +4000 odds. This means if you placed $100 on the Rams to make the playoffs, you would win $4000 and net $4100 if they make it. 

The Rams playoff odds will likely fluctuate throughout the season, as the defending Super Bowl champs face a tough schedule, and a tough division with the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals. 

Rams NFC West and NFC Conference Title Odds: Week 12

In addition to playoffs and Super Bowl odds, bettors can place additional futures bets, such as Rams NFC Conference Title odds, and Rams NFC West Division Title odds. Here are the latest odds entering Week 9:

• Rams NFC Conference Title Odds: +40000
• Rams NFC West Division Title Odds: N/A

The current Rams Super Bowl odds are +80000, which amounts to approximately a 0.1% chance for the Rams to win the Super Bowl.

If a bettor placed a $100 bet and the Rams won the Super Bowl, they would win $80,000 and net $80,100 total. 

Los Angeles Rams 2022 NFL Season Outlook

The Los Angeles Rams have become one of the most electrifying teams in the NFL since the team hired head coach Sean McVay. As defending Super Bowl champions, the Rams have started the 2022 NFL season with a target on their backs. 

After winning the Lombardi Trophy in their home stadium last season, all signs point to another potential playoff run for the Rams, and maybe even another Super Bowl appearance. Given how difficult it is to repeat as Super Bowl Champions, however, projecting the Rams season is a tough task.

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Los Angeles Rams were among the Top 7 NFL teams most likely to win the Super Bowl heading into the 2022 NFL season. The Rams have earned the right to be among the favorites, but the season after a Super Bowl victory has always been historically tough for NFL teams in the past.

Additionally, the Rams are among the top teams expected to win the NFC Conference. As for the division, the Rams entered the season as the favorite to win the division, despite a lot of change in the NFC West this offseason. This is no surprise considering in Sean McVay's first five seasons as head coach in Los Angeles, the Rams have won the NFC West division three times.

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.
