Would Rams fans rather be the underdog or the favorites?
The Los Angeles Rams overcame their loss in their last game to quickly become favorites for next year’s Super Bowl. As fans, is that where you’d rather be, as the favorites, or would you rather be under the radar and bashing shadow teams like the 1999 Rams?
Does preseason perception of quality impact a team’s actual Super Bowl chances? Being marked on an opposing team’s schedule as “the biggest game of the year”? Or is this just media fluff to fill the NFL news cycle while teams rebuild?
The Rams were already a Super Bowl favorite before trading for Trent McDuffie and retaining the 13th pick in the draft, but this move and the addition of Jaylen Watson gives Los Angeles even more of a leg up on the competition. At least that’s what they say.

Retaining most, if not all, of their important players from last season’s 12-5 team with an appearance in the NFC Championship Game didn’t hurt either.
Do you think the Rams are the team to beat? Is it even close? And do you prefer to be the favorites or the underdogs?
