We are just over six hours to kickoff of Super Bowl 53, scheduled for 6:30pm EST (Sunday, February 3rd) and it seems Rams bettors have finally showed up to the party.
Just a few days ago, online sports betting sites were having trouble deciding how much they should push the moneyline and spread in New England’s favor.
The fear in continuing to move the odds was heavy sharp money coming in late on the Rams.
And it appears they were right, as the average Super Bowl odds have moved back to where they started on January 20.
Super Bowl 53 Odds
| Team | Odds to win Super Bowl 53 |
|---|---|
| New England Patriots | -122 |
| Los Angeles Rams | +102 |
*Odds taken at 11am EST on February 3rd
The $2 million Super Bowl bet placed Thursday @MGMRaceSports was on the Rams moneyline at +120. There have been two reported million-dollar-plus bets on the Super Bowl at this point; both on the Rams moneyline. MGM bet was first-reported by @beatingthebook.

On January 29th, the odds had climbed to NE -140 and LAR +120.
If you were hoping for a longer number to bet the Rams, just keep your eyes on the books today. Plenty of money is going to come in late and the odds will be changing rapidly today.
Personally, I see a ton of value in the Patriots at -122. (Hopefully the line hasn’t moved by the time you get there!)
