The Rams will be on the road for the first time this preseason, though they’ve been in Denver all week after holding two joint practices with the Broncos on Wednesday and Thursday. Los Angeles is seeking its first preseason victory of the year following two blowout losses by 17 points each.
The Broncos are also 0-2 this preseason coming into Saturday’s game, though their margin of defeat was much smaller than the Rams’. They lost by one point each to the Cardinals and 49ers, so they’ll try to right the ship and end the preseason with a victory at home against their third NFC West opponent.

Advice and prediction
Very simply, the Rams haven’t looked great this preseason – even with some of their starters playing snaps. They were beaten by the Chargers and Raiders, 34-17, with the Rams’ defense playing poorly in both games. It doesn’t help that Stetson Bennett threw a pick-six against Las Vegas, which drove up the score, but it’s been a tough showing for the Rams this preseason.
The Broncos haven’t looked much better and they’ve been playing their starters even more than Los Angeles has, so it’s not as if they come into this game with any sort of momentum.
Considering Denver doesn’t plan to play its starters for more than a series tonight, if at all, the Rams should be able to keep this one closer than their last two games. And with the spread sitting at +5.5, the Rams are a good bet to cover and keep the game within five points.
Prediction: Broncos 17, Rams 13
