- Rams QB Jared Goff got some attention on Twitter from actress Halle Berry after using her name as an audible on Sunday
- Oddsmaker aren’t expecting it to happen again in Week 11
- Is there value on betting on it regardless?
Halle Berry. You may know her from such on-screen performances like Catwoman, X-Men, Die Another Day, or the countless others the 52-year-old actress has been a part of. Bond Girl, Academy Award winner (Monster’s Ball), swimsuit model and now a play call of the Los Angeles Rams? On Sunday, Rams’ QB Jared Goff called out an audible named “Halle Berry” which caught Berry’s attention on Twitter. And now, of course we can bet on whether it will happen again.
Background on ‘Halle Berry' Audible
Audibles are quick changes called by quarterbacks at the line of scrimmage. They adjust plays on the fly, reacting to defensive setups.
The Rams use celebrity names for audibles, likely to add a touch of fun. Other teams also use distinctive words to mask their strategies from opponents, creating memorable moments for fans.
Odds Rams Will Call Another “Halle Berry” Audible Week 11
| Will the Rams Call a “Halle Berry” Audible in Week 11? | Odds at Bovada |
|---|---|
| Yes | +155 |
| No | -220 |
Goff and the Rams may have thought very little of the play and surely had no expectation that the actress would catch wind of it. After all, Berry’s first husband, ex-MLB player David Justice, claimed she used to get mad at him for watching too much ESPN.The Rams are all about the “@HalleBerry” play, in case you missed it. pic.twitter.com/UkdGs00Ucf

Halle Berry's tweet quickly turned viral, garnering thousands of likes and retweets. Her surprise and excitement fueled discussions on social media, underscoring the crossover appeal of sports and entertainment.
Thrilled to find out she heard about it, the Rams’ QB replied to her saying “It’s my favorite play ever”. The exchange didn’t end there, as Goff’s teammates Todd Gurley and Andrew Whitworth got in on the tweet too.

Historical Celebrity References in NFL
The NFL has a history of using celebrity names in plays. In 2010, Green Bay Packers famously called “Farrah Fawcett” during a game.
Such names make play-calling energetic and capture public attention, enhancing the entertainment aspect of the sport.
This is nothing new for the Rams’ offense which has incorporated many celebrities into their play calls. Obama, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Elvis, Tupac and Ric Flair have all made appearances at the Rams’ line of scrimmage.Should You Bet the YES?
Could Ms. Berry simply be the latest name drop of Goff and the Rams or could there be something more? I’m not sure I can really recommend laying this much juice on the NO. After all, if Goff was/is trying to cash in on some childhood fantasies of the ex-supermodel with his newfound fame as an NFL quarterback, he’s already got her attention. If he wants to keep her interest he can’t keep using the same material.Halle Berry is all about Rams audible named after her https://t.co/so5ec7KWQc pic.twitter.com/qAPfIBjcC8

Sports betting platforms, like Bovada, bring fans closer to the action. By making odds on unusual events, they keep fans engaged beyond the game.
This interactive element boosts viewership and increases the excitement for fans tuning in to see if their bets will pay off.
The devil is also in the details in some bets. “The Halle Berry Audible”. What does that mean? Does it have to be the exact same play? What if they just call a “Halle”, does that count? The NO is the safe bet, but if you can’t wait to sit down for MNF and hope this story continues to play out, it can’t hurt to throw a little pizza money on YES.
