The Los Angeles Rams have emerged from losing their most recent game by quickly becoming next year’s Super Bowl favorites. As fans is that where you’d rather be, as the favorites, or do you prefer to be under the radar and strike teams from the shadows like the 1999 Rams?
Does pre-season perception of quality have any impact on a team’s actual Super Bowl chances? To be marked on an opposing team’s calendar as “the biggest game of the year”? Or is it just media fluff to fill the NFL news cycle while teams are rebuilding?
The Rams were already among Super Bowl favorites before trading for Trent McDuffie and holding onto the 13th pick in the draft, but that move and the addition of Jaylen Watson has L.A. even further ahead of the competition. Or so that’s what they’re saying.
Holding onto most, if not all of their important players from last season’s 12-5 team with an appearance in the NFC Championship game hasn’t hurt either.
Do you believe the Rams are the team to beat? Is it even close? And would you rather be the favorites or the underdogs?
