How many games will the Los Angeles Rams win in the 2020 NFL season? We look at BetMGM‘s projected win total and the Over/Under odds, while looking back at the 2019 season and key offseason roster changes.
Los Angeles Rams 2019 season
After reaching Super Bowl LIII, the Rams fell short of expectations in 2019. They went 9-7 and missed the playoffs, finishing third in the NFC West. QB Jared Goff regressed with only 22 touchdowns and 16 interceptions, while the running game went cold, too, behind a terrible offensive line.
The Rams were better against the spread than they were straight up, going 10-5-1 ATS last season.
Los Angeles Rams 2020 offseason changes
Few teams underwent more changes than the Rams this offseason. For starters, they have three new coordinators on Sean McVay’s staff. Furthermore, they lost LB Cory Littleton, OLB Dante Fowler Jr. and K Greg Zuerlein in free agency.
The team cut RB Todd Gurley and traded WR Brandin Cooks, and also moved on from CB Nickell Robey-Coleman. Their additions were much less notable, but they did sign OLB Leonard Floyd and DL A’Shawn Robinson.

Los Angeles Rams 2020 win total: Best bet
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Odds last updated Saturday, Aug. 8 at 8:30 a.m. ET.
Projected wins: 8.5 / OVER: +105 / UNDER: -125
The Rams were 24-8 in their first two seasons under McVay, and even in a down year like 2019, they finished above .500 at 9-7. They didn’t do anything to improve this offseason, and the NFC West only got tougher thanks to the moves their rivals made, but the Rams are still a good bet to finish with nine wins or more.
They have favorable matchups with the Jets and Dolphins, as well as games against Washington and the Giants. Obviously the NFC West will be tough, but the Rams have cruised in the division the last three years.
Bet the OVER (+105) with the Rams.
