As the 2025 NFL season approaches, the Los Angeles Rams are considered intriguing contenders in the Super Bowl race. Currently, online casino and sportsbook oddsmakers give the Rams +2200 odds to win the Super Bowl, translating to an implied probability of about 4.3%. This places them in the tier of teams with a realistic, though not leading, shot at capturing the Lombardi Trophy. These odds reflect the team’s recent performance and the competitive landscape of the NFL.

Last season, the Rams finished with a 10-7 record, earning a playoff berth and advancing to the Divisional round before being eliminated. Their offense averaged 21.6 points per game, ranking 20th in the league, while their defense allowed 22.7 points, placing them 17th. The Rams were particularly effective when favored, winning six out of seven games as favorites, and they managed to pull off four wins as underdogs. Against the spread, they covered nine times in 17 games, and eight of their games went over the projected point total.

Key contributors to last season’s campaign included running back Kyren Williams, who rushed for 1,299 yards and 14 touchdowns, and wide receiver Davante Adams, who notched 1,063 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. Quarterback Matthew Stafford threw for 3,762 yards and 20 touchdowns, maintaining a solid 65.8% completion rate. Defensively, Jared Verse, Quentin Lake, Kobie Turner, and Byron Young stood out as playmakers, contributing significant tackles and sacks.

The Rams enter the 2025 season with a blend of veteran leadership and emerging talent. Their odds suggest that while they are not the favorites, they are a team capable of making a deep playoff run if they can build on last season’s foundation and address key areas for improvement.

A Brief History of Rams Super Bowl Teams

The Los Angeles Rams are a franchise with a rich and varied history, marked by relocations and reinventions. Over the decades, they have made five Super Bowl appearances and won two.

Super Bowl XIV (1979 Season)

The Rams’ first Super Bowl appearance came in January 1980, when they faced the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XIV. Despite being heavy underdogs, the Rams held a lead heading into the fourth quarter. Ultimately, the Steelers’ experience and firepower proved too much, and the Rams lost 31-19. This game was notable for the Rams’ resilience and the emergence of several stars, but it would be nearly two decades before they returned to the Super Bowl stage.

The “Greatest Show on Turf” – Super Bowl XXXIV (1999 Season)

The 1999 season marked a renaissance for the franchise, then known as the St. Louis Rams. Led by head coach Dick Vermeil, offensive coordinator Mike Martz, and quarterback Kurt Warner, the Rams unleashed a high-octane offense dubbed “The Greatest Show on Turf.” With weapons like Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce, and Torry Holt, the Rams finished the regular season 13-3.

In Super Bowl XXXIV, the Rams faced the Tennessee Titans. The game was a dramatic affair, remembered for its explosive plays and tense finish. Kurt Warner threw for 414 yards and two touchdowns, including a 73-yard strike to Isaac Bruce that gave the Rams a late lead. The Titans drove to the Rams’ 10-yard line in the final seconds, but linebacker Mike Jones made a game-saving tackle on Kevin Dyson as time expired, sealing a 23-16 victory and the franchise’s first Super Bowl title.

Super Bowl XXXVI (2001 Season)

Two years later, the Rams returned to the Super Bowl, again as the St. Louis Rams. This time, they faced the upstart New England Patriots, led by a young Tom Brady. The Rams were favored but struggled to find their offensive rhythm against a disciplined Patriots defense. The game ended in heartbreak for St. Louis, as Adam Vinatieri’s last-second field goal gave the Patriots a 20-17 win. The loss marked the end of the Rams’ period of dominance, but the “Greatest Show on Turf” era remains a defining chapter in NFL history.

Super Bowl LIII (2018 Season)

After relocating back to Los Angeles, the Rams rebuilt under head coach Sean McVay. In the 2018 season, they returned to the Super Bowl with a dynamic offense led by quarterback Jared Goff and running back Todd Gurley. However, in Super Bowl LIII, they faced the New England Patriots in a defensive slugfest. The Rams’ offense was stymied, and they fell 13-3 in one of the lowest-scoring Super Bowls ever. While the loss was disappointing, it signaled the Rams’ return as a force in the NFC.

Super Bowl LVI (2021 Season)

The Rams’ most recent Super Bowl appearance came in the 2021 season, culminating in a championship on their home turf at SoFi Stadium. With Matthew Stafford at quarterback, Cooper Kupp as the star receiver, and Aaron Donald anchoring the defense, the Rams faced the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI. The game was tightly contested, with both teams trading leads. In the fourth quarter, Stafford led a decisive drive capped by a touchdown pass to Kupp, who was named Super Bowl MVP. The defense, led by Donald, sealed the 23-20 victory by stopping the Bengals’ final drive. This win marked the Rams’ first Super Bowl title as a Los Angeles-based team and solidified the legacies of several key players and coaches.

Legacy and Outlook

The history of the Los Angeles Rams’ Super Bowl is a testament to the franchise’s resilience and adaptability. From their early days in Los Angeles to the glory years in St. Louis and back to their current home, the Rams have consistently found ways to compete at the highest level. They are among the NFL’s most storied franchises with two Super Bowl wins and five appearances. As the 2025 season unfolds, the Rams will look to add another chapter to their legacy. With a talented roster, experienced coaching staff, and a recent track record of postseason success, they remain a team to watch in the quest for another Super Bowl title. Their odds reflect the challenges ahead and the potential for another memorable run.
