Broncos vs. Rams: NFL Week 16 Christmas Day Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions (2022)
Leg 1: Broncos -2.5 (-120)
While it’s been a massively disappointing season for the Broncos, it’s somehow been an even tougher season for the Rams. LA has lost seven of their last eight games. They’ve turned to Baker Mayfield at starter, who played a disappointing game in Green Bay last week. They’ve only scored more than 17 points twice in that eight game stretch.
Denver is nowhere near where they hoped to be coming into the season, but they’ve shown some signs of life in recent weeks. Over their last three games they have one-possession losses to the Ravens and Chiefs – two likely playoff teams – and a win over the Cardinals. For most teams this stretch may represent a downturn – for the Broncos it’s some of the best football they’ve played all year.
This game may get ugly, but with the Broncos sensational defense and Russell Wilson returning to the lineup this week I think they win this game.
Leg 2: Rams Team Total U10.5 Points (+280)
As mentioned before, the Rams offense has been brutal in recent weeks. They’ve scored just 15.8 points per game over their last eight games, and they’ve been held under 14 points in half these games.
Denver’s defense is one of the best in the league this season. They’ve allowed 18.1 points per game this year, putting them behind only San Francisco and Buffalo in terms of NFL scoring defense rankings. Given the tough games the Rams have had with Baker Mayfield under center against the Raiders and Packers – two below-median scoring defenses – I think they could be in for a long day against the Broncos.
