The gamblers don't think the Rams will make the playoffs

[PARAM]

Nah, the NFC North teams have to lose to each other. Plus a number of them still play Buffalo and New England. Minn plays the Niners, GB plays the Rams, which might be a must win for LA.

So there are losses to be had.

I agree. The NFC North is sitting pretty right now but two of them have 3 division games left, two others have 4. They are going to beat up each other. What we need is for one of them to dominate the rest of the division and after the Cousins acquisition, that may be the Vikings. If they can win out their division games, that'll help.

If that happens:
The Packers will have at least 4 losses and games against the Rams, Bills, Texans, Lions and Bears. If the Rams can beat them that'll be 5 losses with a Rams tiebreaker .
Detroit will have at least 3 losses and games against the Bears (2), Packers, New England, Atlanta and the Giants. I see a couple/few "L's" there.
Chicago will have at least 3 losses and games against Jacksonville, Buffalo, Green Bay and two vs Detroit.

If we can manage a better record that 2 of the NFC North teams, we will have an excellent shot at the postseason. 11-6 might do it, 12-5 certainly will.

I think 11–6 gets us in for sure assuming one of those last two losses is not against Green Bay
10 – 7 I don’t think it does for sure

FWIW, the actual title of the article is: "Rams more likely to miss the playoffs than make the playoffs, according to betting odds".

"More likely to miss the playoffs" is also what the NFL Network is saying as of Saturday.

Don’t worry about it! The Rams are going to finish strong.

Barring injury it all comes down to that Green Bay game. Luckily it’s at sofi.

We should have Davante back.

So we could get it done barring a sleepwalk game.

I fully expect us to beat Seattle both games if we are at full force.
