Can the Rams Repeat Super Bowl Victory?

Seven franchises have won consecutive Super Bowl appearances. Will the L.A. Rams make it eight next February?

The Los Angeles Rams took home the Lombardi Trophy for the 2021 NFL season by defeating the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI. L.A. is about as talented as any team there is in football, and has managed to hang on to most of that talent this offseason while also adding to the roster.

I believe the Rams have a very good chance to win back-to-back Super Bowl championships, and not just because they’re extremely talented. No team has been able to win the big game two seasons in a row since the New England Patriots accomplished that feat between the 2003 and 2004 seasons. But there’s a real chance it could happen again here with the ultra-talented Rams.

Winners Don’t Quit

The team retained most of its championship winning squad, with QB Matt Stafford, WR Cooper Kupp and DL Aaron Donald all coming back for at least one more season. They did lose T Andrew Whitworth to retirement, LB Von Miller to the Buffalo Bills and WR Robert Woods to the Tennessee Titans in a trade. However, they signed former Jaguars and Bears star WR Allen Robinson to replace Woods, who wasn’t even a part of their playoff run due to injury.

Still, did you notice where those players headed after departing L.A.? They went to the AFC, which could be at its strongest point in history right now. The NFC looks to be at its weakest point in all the years I’ve been watching football, with many notable stars leaving for an AFC team.

Star QB Russell Wilson is now on the AFC’s Denver Broncos, leaving the NFC’s Seattle Seahawks. QB Matt Ryan left the NFC’s Atlanta Falcons for the AFC’s Indianapolis Colts. WR Davante Adams fled the NFC’s Green Bay Packers for the AFC’s Las Vegas Raiders. I could go on and on with star players leaving the NFC for the AFC, and the AFC was already more talented to begin with.

Betting Super Bowl LVII

Who’s the best QB in the NFC outside of Stafford? Tom Brady, obviously, but can the Bucs really get it done with team that doesn’t quite measure up to the Super Bowl LV champs? How about Aaron Rodgers with a Green Bay Packers team that lacks talent overall and can’t win big games? Disgruntled and often bad Kyler Murray? Dak Prescott?

I’m not buying any of them besides the magic of Tom Terrific, who easily would be their biggest threat. All that should have the Rams absolutely stoked for the 2022 season to kickoff, as the path to the Super Bowl looks like ooey-gooey butter cake with how weak their conference is relative to them overall.

Meanwhile, Caesars Sportsbook favors the Buffalo Bills to win Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona next February at +700. Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are next at +800, with the Kansas City Chiefs at +900 and the Green Bay Packers at +1100 due to the loss of star receivers Tyreek Hill and Davante Adams. The Rams conclude the Top 5 at +1200.
