The Denver Broncos (4-10) visit the Los Angeles Rams (4-10) on' Christmas as they square off Sunday afternoon in Week 16. Kickoff from SoFi Stadium will be at 4:30 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s'lines around the Broncos vs. Rams odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Broncos have been one of the NFL’s most disappointing teams this year, ranking 32nd in points scored (218). They’ve wasted a dominant defense, which is 3rd in points allowed (253), getting very poor play out of QB Russell Wilson in his 1st season in Denver. In the last 6 games, the Broncos are just 1-5 with their only win against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15.
The Rams are currently in the midst of 1 of the worst post-Super Bowl seasons ever, tying the record for the most losses by a defending champion – coincidentally with the 1999 Broncos. QB Matthew Stafford, WR Cooper Kupp and WR Allen Robinson are among the players out for the year, while DT Aaron Donald is unlikely to play due to a high ankle sprain. The result? the 31st-ranked scoring offense in football.
