Broncos vs Rams Prediction, Odds & Pick for SNF

Below, bettors can find NFL odds and a Broncos vs Rams prediction for Week 3’s SNF matchup in Denver.

As of Sunday morning, the line has moved steadily in Denver’s direction. When odds opened last Sunday, oddsmakers listed the Broncos as a 2.5-point underdog. Now, they’re all the way down to +1.5 at home.

The over/under dropped 1.5 points from the opening line, going from 45.5 to 44. Likely contributing to the move is a presumed Puka Nacua absence.

Rams vs Broncos Prediction for SNF

Based on the matchup advantages for both defenses and my distrust of the Rams as a road favorite, my Broncos vs Rams prediction is the Total Under 45.5 Points (-110).

I question how this game goes over a key number without a Rams offensive explosion. In this game, I expect the offense to try to run the ball.

Schematically, Denver poses a tricky matchup for Los Angeles. Corners Riley Moss and Patrick Surtain II will trouble Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.

It showed in Week 2 as the Broncos’ defense held firm against a good Jaguars offense. Jacksonville mustered a measly 13 points and two red zone opportunities as 2.5-point dogs.

More concerning? Denver remains at home following a victory while the Rams are forced to travel on a short week.

I simultaneously question Denver’s offense. The team achieved its success through the air against an overrated secondary. Rushing, the offense averaged 3.7 yards per attempt.

Los Angeles possesses a strong group of corners to shut down Denver’s passing game. As 2.5-point underdogs in Kansas City, the Broncos managed only 10 points.

Accordingly, I predict this game stays under a lofty benchmark.
