Super Bowl 2019 Odds: Rams, Chiefs, Patriots, Saints Favored After Sunday Week 5

Five weeks into the 2018 season, and the Los Angeles Rams are already heavy Super Bowl favorites.

The Rams are listed at +275 to win the franchise's first Super Bowl since 1999, per OddsShark. No other team is coming off at better than +600 (Kansas City Chiefs).

The Rams, Chiefs and New England Patriots (+675) are the only three teams with better than 10-1 odds at the moment.

The Rams and Chiefs are the sport's two lone remaining unbeatens.

Los Angeles has been the most dominant force in the sport, boasting an NFL-best plus-75 point differential and seamlessly integrating a number of high-profile veterans. Jared Goff and Todd Gurley have both emerged as MVP candidates, while Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh are the most feared interior pass-rushing duo in recent memory.

With wins against the Minnesota Vikings and at the Seattle Seahawks in consecutive weeks, the Rams have also proved themselves capable of winning big games.

The Chiefs probably have the MVP of the season's first quarter in Patrick Mahomes, who set an NFL record for the most touchdown passes in the first two and three games to begin a season. Mahomes has thrown for 1,513 yards and 14 touchdowns against just two interceptions, adding 66 yards and two scores on the ground.

Kansas City's main issue is its defense, which ranks near the bottom of the league in most major categories.

The Patriots remain among the favorites due more to reputation than performance. They were throttled in back-to-back weeks by the Jacksonville Jaguars and Detroit Lions last month, with Tom Brady looking far off from his 2017 MVP form. The same Jaguars team was just handed a 30-14 loss by Kansas City on Sunday.

From a bettor's perspective, there's no reason to go near the Rams line. They're probably the Super Bowl favorites at the moment. But they're also one Goff or Gurley injury away from being knocked off their favorite status, and the NFC is deep. The +275 odds at this juncture are far too unfavorable to make them anything short of a "stay away."

The best bet on the board? The Green Bay Packers. Any time you can get Aaron Rodgers at 28-1, it's probably a good idea to take that risk.
