The Super Bowl hangover from last season is still heavy on the Los Angeles Rams who have lots of player injuries to show for it. It’s no wonder they have struggled this season.
With a 4-10 record, they fare a bit better at home compared to on the road and will hope to bring that luck into Sunday’s matchup.
Since the beginning of October and halfway through that month, the Rams have managed to win only one game. And it was a comeback against the Los Angeles Raiders. Save for that, they’d be nursing eight consecutive losses.
Last week, they bounced back to an extent but lost to the Greenbay Packers on the road in what was a primetime game. The Rams have no motivation to play for, more losses, and traded away their first-round pick.
It will certainly be interesting to see how they fare in tomorrow’s game.
Los Angeles has taken a major hit following player injuries which also affected how the season turned out for them.
Their defense is nothing to be worried about, and even in Aaron Donald’s absence, their remaining All-Pro players should help them stop the Broncos.
The concern now is how they’ll fare with the offense. Baker Mayfield can hold the line, but he has nobody that can help at any of the key positions. Since Mayfield is inexperienced with the offense, he will struggle.
Injured Los Angeles Rams Players
- Ben Skowronek (offense)- Calf
- Matt Stafford (offense) – Spine
- Allen Robinson (offense)- Ankle
- Copper Kupp (offense)- Ankle
- Aaron Donald (defense)- Ankle

There were a lot of expectations on the Denver Broncos this season, mainly because of their off-season additions. But they didn’t live up to expectations.
Denver has a 4-10 record and is in the last position in the AC West, a division they were favored to win this season. By winning the Arizona Cardinals last week, they broke their five-game loss.
This team is struggling to be consistent in delivering strong games this season. Playing at home for their last two games worked well. But going on the road for Sunday’s game they’ll have some problems.
The Broncos have not won on the road this season, and although the Rams are struggling too, it is unsure that Denver will suddenly change their road fate for tomorrow’s match.
With their last game for the season being with the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers, beating the Rams tomorrow might be their last chance to win.
Denver still has one of the best defensive units in the NFL, and even with some injuries, they’ll still be a threat to the Rams.
Their offensive side is where they have challenges and that is a key part of how Sunday’s match will turn out. They rank last in the league in scoring and going against a talented LA defense could spell trouble for them.
They will need a good game, now that Latavius Murray is injured and the running back position might be in trouble without him. Jerry Jeudy can get a few touches but may struggle as the lone receiving option.
Injured Denver Broncos Players
- Russel Wilson – Concussion
- Courtland Sutton (offense) – hamstring
- Javonte Willians (offense) – knee
- Randy Gregory (defense) – knee
- Dakota Allen (defense) – hamstring
Los Angeles Rams VS Denver Broncos Prediction
Lately, Denver Broncos haven’t had many opportunities where they were chosen as favorites in a match, but they have been chosen for this one.
The Broncos will have their starting quarterback and one of the NFL’s most electric wide receivers.
Los Angeles Rams, on the other hand, will not have any noteworthy players on their offensive side.
With the defenses of both teams strong, the game will probably come down to which team finds the upper hand against the order. This would be the Broncos, especially since they can move the ball on the ground too.
In addition, the Rams are 0-3-1 against the spread in their last four games, having accumulated lower than 90 yards rushing in their last game.
