Top 10 favorites for Super Bowl 57: Chiefs, Bills lead the way

3. Super Bowl 57 favorites – Los Angeles Rams

The Rams have gone all in over the past few years and it has put them in a position to get right back to the Super Bowl next season. While traditional wisdom around the NFL has revolved around using draft picks to build the backbone of your roster, Los Angeles has aggressively dealt away its first-rounders to land impact stars like Stafford and Jalen Ramsey.

That strategy has worked since the Rams have done a good job of identifying undervalued talent in the middle rounds like star wide receiver Cooper Kupp. The result has been a stacked roster that can annually remain in the hunt for the Super Bowl as long as Stafford maintains peak performance.

The salary cap isn’t a major issue for the Rams either since they are only $13 million over the projected threshold and there are opportunities to create cap savings through manageable cuts and contract restructurings. The confidence of getting through the NFC juggernaut to a Super Bowl this year should also prove beneficial for Los Angeles, which will be a free agent destination thanks to its market and easier path to the big game.

There is still a lot of brilliance to come for this Rams team with head coach Sean McVay still a few years away from even reaching 40. McVay has proven that he is a top-flight coach in this league that will keep Los Angeles in the Super Bowl mix for years to come.
