Rams vs. Broncos predictions: Will SNF be a defensive slugfest?
Despite Sean McVay and Sean Payton being offensive minds, Sunday Night Football could be a defensive battle
The Los Angeles Rams will take on the Denver Broncos in a Sunday Night Football matchup at Mile High Stadium. Sportsbooks and prediction markets have the Rams favored by 2.5 points. Neither defense is expected to record a sack this game, but the Rams' offensive line has only allowed one sack all season. In contrast, the Broncos boast two of the NFL's best offensive linemen, Garrett Bolles and Quinn Meinerz.
Head coach Sean Payton is likely to focus on stopping Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford from racking up sack after sack. Running back Tutu Atwell has been a valuable asset to the Rams, catching three passes for 58 yards this season and potentially becoming a key gadget play. The Rams' offense is expected to convert two fourth down attempts, kicking off their drives with points in mind.
With a projected tied score of 13-13 entering the fourth quarter, the team that scores first will likely emerge victorious.
