The Los Angeles Rams entered the 2023-24 NFL season with modest expectations, opening at +3500 to win the Super Bowl. However, they defied the odds and made a surprising playoff run, finishing 10-7 and securing a wild card berth before narrowly losing in the first round.
Rams’ Resurgence
After a disappointing 2022 campaign, the Rams bounced back behind the veteran leadership of quarterback Matthew Stafford and a revamped supporting cast. Stafford, a finalist for 2023 Comeback Player of the Year, threw for nearly 4,000 yards and 24 touchdowns. The offense was bolstered by the breakout performance of rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua (105 catches, 1,486 yards, 6 TDs) and the return of running back Kyren Williams (95.3 rushing yards per game, 5 yards per carry).
2025 Super Bowl Odds
Following their resurgent season, the Rams’ odds to win Super Bowl LIX in 2025 have improved to +3000, according to Gamblizard. This makes them the 12th overall favorite, tied with the Los Angeles Chargers, and the sixth-highest team in the NFC.
In the competitive NFC West, the Rams trail the San Francisco 49ers (+600) and are behind the Detroit Lions (+1300), Dallas Cowboys (+1600), Philadelphia Eagles (+1400), and Green Bay Packers (+1900) in the conference odds.
Rams Offseason Moves
The Rams have been active this offseason, re-signing wide receiver Demarcus Robinson and hiring former Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Sean Desai to the coaching staff. They also have the 19th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and are slated to have four picks within the top 100 selections.
With an experienced core and a few key additions, the Rams are poised to build on their surprising 2023-24 campaign and make another push for the Super Bowl in 2025. However, they face a challenging second-place schedule that includes fellow division runner-ups like the Philadelphia Eagles, Las Vegas Raiders, and New Orleans Saints.
About Superbowl LIX
Super Bowl LIX will occur on February 9, 2025, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. This marks the eleventh time New Orleans will host the Super Bowl, tying it with Miami for the city that has hosted the most Super Bowls. The game will be broadcast on FOX, with kickoff likely between 6:19 and 6:40 PM ET.
Advertising during the Super Bowl continues to be a significant investment for brands. In 2025, the cost for a 30-second commercial spot is expected to be around $7 million, not including production and talent costs, which can add millions more. This price has steadily increased over the years, reflecting the high value of reaching the Super Bowl’s massive audience.
Despite the high costs, the return on investment (ROI) for Super Bowl ads can be challenging to measure. While some brands see significant increases in sales following their ads, others find it challenging to justify the expense. Effective Super Bowl ads often integrate storytelling, celebrity endorsements, and innovative technology to engage viewers and create memorable moments.
