LA Rams Season Wins Total Betting Odds Could Shift With Trade

The LA Rams, with odds of winning OVER/UNDER 7 regular season games (favored at -120 to win more), could see this number advance following a Thursday morning trade with the Tennessee Titans.  (find current NFL future betting odds here)

The Titans have traded the No. 1 pick in the draft to the Los Angeles Rams in a blockbuster trade whereby Tennessee will send the top selection along with its fourth- (No. 113) and sixth-round (No. 177) picks this year to the Rams in exchange for Los Angeles' first-round pick (No. 15), two second-round selections (Nos. 43 and 45) and a third-round pick (No. 76) in 2016. The Titans also will get the Rams' first- and third-round picks in 2017.

This in essence will allow the Rams, who return to LA this upcoming season, to draft the quarterback of their choice. 

The Titans have also positioned themselves for future success.  They were currently listed with odds of winning OVER 5.5 regular season games priced at -140.

"It is not often that you have the No. 1 overall pick and we hope to not be in this position again. But we tried to use that pick as currency to work the draft and maximize player acquisition," Titans general manager Jon Robinson said in a news release. "We now have the ammunition to work the draft and acquire players that are good for this football team.

"In terms of timing, it made sense for us to do this now as it gives us time to adjust and make sure we target more players."
