NFL gambling sites have a newfound respect for the Los Angeles Rams. It may be begrudging respect in some cases, though. However, following a 2017 breakthrough season, you better give the Rams mad props. Who was it that said Sean McVay looked like a 12 year old? And that Scott Tolzien would run through the Rams? To paraphrase The Rock, it doesn’t matter who said it! His forgotten name has joined the numerous ranks of the hacks.
Let’s see. First of all, the Rams posted their first winning season since 2003. Second, they scored 107 points in the first three games of the season. That’s the second highest in franchise history as well as a league leader. Third, the Rams went from last in total offense in 2016 with a league-low 224 points to the highest scoring team in 2017 with 29.9 points per game and 478 total points scored. Fourth, the Rams clinched the NFC West for the first time since 2003. Fifth, they returned to the postseason for the first time since 2004. McVay, Jared Goff, and the rest of the horned ones are for real.

Goff will have a brand new target in Brandin Cooks. The Rams traded a first-round pick and a sixth-round pick to the New England Patriots in exchange for the wide receiver. Cooks had 1082 receiving yards and seven TDs for the Pats last season.

At Seattle Seahawks. The Rams split their 2017 series with the ‘Hawks, including a 42-7 blowout at CenturyLink Field.
At San Francisco 49ers. Similarly, they dropped one against the Niners, but won 41-39 at Levi’s Stadium.
At New Orleans Saints. The Rams have lost their last two trips to New Orleans. Whether they played as the St. Louis or LA Rams at either the Louisiana or Mercedes Benz Superdome.
At Detroit Lions. The Rams have lost four of their last five games at Ford Field.
At Chicago Bears. The Rams return to Soldier Field as a Los Angeles franchise for the first time since 1994. They lost back then, but NFL gambling sites will favor them this time.
At Arizona Cardinals. The Rams swept the Cards in 2017. Technically speaking, both games were on the road. The first one was held in London and the second at the University of Phoenix Stadium.
