Two conference championship runners-up meet on Sunday Night Football, with my Rams vs. Broncos prediction backing a strong defensive performance from both teams.

Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET from Empower Field at Mile High in Denver (NBC/Peacock), with the Rams priced as a 2.5-point road betting favorite.

💰 Rams vs. Broncos prediction & best bet

Under 44.5 (-105 via DraftKings)

This has all the makings of a low-scoring prime-time matchup.

Denver's defense has been a formidable unit the last few seasons, particularly at Mile High. The Broncos have allowed an average of less than 20 points per home game since 2024.

The Rams got right on offense last week, but they aren't without their concerns on that side of the ball. L.A. has four turnovers already and will likely be without All-Pro WR Puka Nacua for a second straight game.

While some of the best sports betting sites have the total at 45.5, I'm comfortable backing Under 44.5 at DraftKings to get better odds.

📡 SBR Edge: Under trends

Rams and Broncos games are a combined 4-0 to the Under this season.

Bo Nix on regression watch

Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has been erratic through two games, an overlooked early development of the 2026 season. Nix ranks 39th in EPA/play out of 43 qualified QBs.

The Rams' offense will have its work cut out against the Broncos, but it will be L.A.'s own defense that leads them to win and cover the spread in Denver on Sunday night.

Score prediction: Rams 23, Broncos 17
