Aaron Donald has accomplished just about everything a player can in his first seven years in the NFL, but his resume is far from complete. In addition to hopefully winning a Super Bowl at some point, Donald could make a case for MVP.

Having won Defensive Player of the Year three times and been named an All-Pro six times, Donald is always considered to be one of the top players in football, if not the absolute best. Jalen Ramsey has witnessed his greatness firsthand for the last two seasons and he continues to be amazed by what No. 99 does on the field.

But Ramsey still feels Donald deserves more recognition and should be in the MVP conversation because he’s simply that valuable to the Rams defense.

“I’ve never seen anyone like him. In my opinion, he’s the best player in the NFL,” Ramsey said on the “Huddle and Flow” podcast. “I think AD should start being in the conversation for MVP. It’s insane that people really – I know after he won Defensive Player of the Year again, certain people were in an uproar about him winning. I’m like, ‘Bro are y’all serious? Like, he is doing these numbers from D-tackle.’

The Rams are considered favorites in this matchup (indicated by -115), requiring a $115 bet to win $100 (plus the initial bet back). The 49ers are the underdog in this matchup, paying out $230 total for a $100. There’s a strong case that the Rams should be the favorites in the NFC, though, and here’s why I’ll be betting them to represent the conference in the Super Bowl in 2022. Betting On Los Angeles Rams Online. The Rams franchise has won three NFL championships and is the only club to win titles while representing three different cities (Cleveland in 1945, Los Angeles in 1951, and St. The franchise began in 1936 as the Cleveland Rams.

“His impact on the game is crazy. You look at Most Valuable Player, and what it actually means is, how valuable is this guy to this team? Take this guy off of this team and then where does their value as a team go? And you put AD on any NFL team, and I guarantee that D-line is a top-five D-line — probably top-three D-line — automatically.”

Ramsey isn’t wrong. Donald deserves to be in the MVP discussion. However, it’ll be tough for him to ever win it. He had a shot in 2018 when he led the NFL with 20.5 sacks (a record by a defensive tackle), 25 tackles for loss and 41 QB hits, forcing four fumbles and recovering two. But he came up short to Patrick Mahomes, who had a historic season himself.

MVP is a quarterback-driven award and Donald plays a position that doesn’t garner much attention or recognition. That puts him behind the 8 ball compared to a quarterback or running back, which wins the award more than any other position group.

Will the Los Angeles Rams make the 2020 NFL playoffs?

Yes: +165 No: -200

Let’s rip expectations and emotions out of projecting the 2020 Los Angeles Rams. They fell well short of their preseason hype in 2019, but they weren’t that bad. A 9-7 record, but in an insanely difficult NFC West. They went 10-5-1 against the spread (meaning they surpassed bookmakers’ expectations on a weekly basis given the situation), had a plus-0.6 yards per play differential and could’ve snuck into the playoffs had they not gone 1-2 in the final three weeks. So one could argue Yes (+165) for the Rams making the postseason being great value.

The biggest question for this Rams team is how can they regain offensive dominance while parting ways with RB Todd Gurley III? Gurley’s disappointing 2019 campaign, where he went from MVP-caliber production to a mediocre 857 rushing yard and 3.8 yards per carry, directly relates to the Rams missing the playoffs for the first time in head coach Sean McVay’s three-year tenure. McVay’s coaching results thus far are impressive but the reason why I’m staying away from this action is based on my take of QB Jared Goff.

In 2019, Goff was Pro Football Focus’ 20th-graded quarterback. He ranked 22nd in QB Rating and 28th in touchdown percentage. Outside of a couple of draft picks, the Rams didn’t go out of their way to get him much help and the Rams have the 28th toughest schedule in the NFL this season (according to SharpFootballAnalysis.com).

I think the jury is still out on Goff but because I believe in McVay’s abilities. The value on No (-200) is terrible given the Rams head coach. I’ll PASS on betting if the Rams make the playoffs in 2020.

How many games will the Los Angeles Rams win in 2020? Bands

Successful gamblers don’t like this angle very often but let’s side with the market and bet the 5-8 Wins Band (-120). The Rams aren’t chumps but their first three games of the season are among the league’s toughest and their division is the best in the NFL. Los Angeles will win games, just not that many.

For the 0-4 Wins Band ticket to cash, a combination of bad breaks and a cluster of injuries would have to befall the Rams. The 9-12 Wins band (-105) is pretty good value but Yes (+165) to make the playoffs is better and if we thought they’d win that much we’d take the bet in the section above. A 13-plus win season is the biggest long shot for a reason: It ain’t happening.

How many games will the Los Angeles Rams win in 2020? Exact number

It’s too hard to stick the landing on this wager so I’ll PASS ON EXACT NUMBER OF WINS. Some strategy that may be profitable would be betting money on exactly 5 wins (+1400), exactly 6 wins (+650) and exactly 7 wins (+375). If any of those tickets cash you’ve profited on the Exact Wins action.
