Betting breakdown

While they were inactive last week, the Packers still improved from +450 to +400 by the odds to win Super Bowl LV at PointsBet. They trail only the Chiefs by the team futures odds. The Rams went from +2500 to +2000 at PointsBet with their win last week, but they still have the worst odds of any NFC team and have better odds than only the Cleveland Browns among the remaining eight playoff teams.

The Packers are favored for the seventh straight game and 14th time in the 2020 season. They covered in each of their final two games of the regular season and played to the Over in each one; they’ve won six straight games straight up. The Rams are underdogs for just the sixth time, including closing at +3 last week in Seattle. They’ve covered in back-to-back games and split the Over/Under.

The 45.5-point total is the lowest since Week 12 for the Packers. They played to the Over in a 41-25 win as 8-point favorites over the Chicago Bears. The Rams had played to four straight Unders before hitting the Over on a line of 42 points with their 30-point offensive outburst last week. The 6.5-point spread will be the greatest margin they’ve been spotted this season.

Packers vs Rams: Head to Head

Rams vs. Packers game matchup

Rams QB Jared Goff (thumb) was forced into action early last Saturday after starter John Wolford left the game due to a neck injury; Goff finished 9-for-19 for 155 yards and one touchdown in his first game back from thumb surgery. Rookie RB Cam Akers carried the load offensively with 131 yards and a touchdown on the ground and another two receptions for 45 yards. The defense returned a Russell Wilson interception for a touchdown and allowed just 278 total yards from Seattle while sacking Wilson five times for 32 yards.

The juggernaut Packers pose a greater threat to the top-ranked Rams defense. QB Aaron Rodgers was the resounding betting favorite for the AP MVP before odds were taken off the board; he’s second by the odds to be the Super Bowl LV MVP behind Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes. Rodgers finished the regular season with 4,299 yards and a league-high 48 passing touchdowns against five interceptions. He also led the league in completion percentage (70.7%) and quarterback rating (121.5) while adding three scores on the ground.

Packers RB Aaron Jones had 1,459 yards from scrimmage and 11 total touchdowns over 14 games. WR Davante Adams finished with 115 receptions for 1,374 yards and 18 touchdowns in 14 games. TE Robert Tonyan had 11 TDs in 16 games. Green Bay’s offense was first in points per play, third-down offense, red-zone offense, and third in yards per play (6.3).

The Packers will face a Rams defense first with just 4.6 yards allowed per play. The Rams are No. 1 by Football Outsiders’ weighted DVOA, ranking fourth against the pass and third against the rush. Led by DT Aaron Donald, the Rams were ninth by ESPN’s Team Pass Rush Win Rate but just 16th in Run Stop Win Rate. The Packers’ offensive line was No. 1 in both Pass Block and Run Block Win Rate; Rodgers was sacked 20 times for 182 yards. Green Bay and L.A. ranked first and second, respectively, by time of possession in the regular season.

While the offense afforded them plenty of room for error, the Packers defense was rather middling in most key areas. They were 14th in opponent yards per play (5.5), 14th by weighted DVOA, 20th by Pass Rush Win Rate, and 24th by Run Stop Win Rate.
