Already the clear favorite to win Super Bowl LXI, the Rams have further positioned themselves as the NFL’s potential superteam after bringing legendary defensive tackle Aaron Donald out of retirement.
The rejoining of Donald, a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, on the Rams to join a fearsome defense with newly acquired star Myles Garrett and All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie has already had widespread impact across the league. Among the latest developments:
The Rams distanced themselves even more as the overwhelming betting leader in Super Bowl LXI odds. Los Angeles now has an implied probability of 16.7% to win the NFL’s championship game, set for Feb. 14, 2027 at SoFi Stadium. That probability is up from 10.5% prior to the Garrett trade in early June, and is now nearly twice the level as the current No. 2 betting favorite to win the Super Bowl, the Bills. The Rams are seeking to become just the third team to win the Super Bowl on their home field, joining the 2020 Buccaneers and the 2021 Rams led in part by Donald. The Rams are also becoming an increasingly popular cross-town and cross-sport betting parlay with MLB’s Dodgers, the heavy favorite to win the World Series for a third straight year.
