The 2019 season officially wrapped up on Sunday night with the Kansas City Chiefs beating the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 in Super Bowl LIV. It’s the second year in a row an NFC West team has lost in the Super Bowl, following the Rams’ loss to the Patriots last year.
Everyone is looking toward the 2020 season now, which includes Super Bowl LV odds. It’s never too early to think about which teams have the best chance to win it all next year, but the Rams aren’t among them.
According to Bovada, the Rams have the 10th-best odds (+2500) to raise the Lombardi Trophy next season, tied with the Bears, Falcons and Seahawks. Surprisingly, they have worse odds than their future roommates, the Los Angeles Chargers, who don’t know who their quarterback will be.
The Chiefs, Ravens and 49ers are predictably at the top of the heap, considering they were the best teams in 2019. The Saints and Patriots round out the top five. The Redskins have the worst odds at +15000.

The Rams are as talented as any team in the NFL, beginning with Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey, Todd Gurley and Jared Goff. They also have major questions to answer this offseason with Cory Littleton, Michael Brockers and Dante Fowler Jr. all being free agents. Andrew Whitworth will also be a free agent.
If they can get the offensive line fixed and play consistently on defense, the Rams should be back in the playoffs. But in a division that features the 49ers, Seahawks and Cardinals, nothing is given.
