Rams Versus Broncos Preview
Rams face Broncos as narrow road favorites amid injury concerns and betting shifts
Anonymous
The Los Angeles Rams enter Sunday Night Football as 2.5-point road favorites over the Denver Broncos, with the game total listed around 45 points. Betting previews favor Denver to keep the game close, citing coach Sean Payton’s home-underdog record, the Broncos’ recent defensive improvement and the Rams’ short-week trip after Monday Night Football. Los Angeles’ receiving corps has injury concerns, including Puka Nacua, who missed practices and was trending toward sitting out. A Broncos preview also focuses on how Denver can contain Matthew Stafford’s offense and help Bo Nix find success against the Rams’ defense.
