Preview: Los Angeles Rams at Denver Broncos projection

Los Angeles Rams visit Denver Broncos in NFL on Sunday, September 27, 2026. Our projection reads LAR 24 – DEN 22, a 2-point edge to Los Angeles Rams. DraftKings has DEN +2.5 with a total of 46.5.

This is week 3 of the 2026 regular season. 1 completed week of this regular season are blended with last season's results, adjusted for opponent quality and home field, across 288 regular-season games. Preseason games are excluded entirely, and the DraftKings number posted before kickoff carries 65% of the projection because our own sample is rated moderate.

The pre-kickoff availability record was 100% complete and is reflected in the projection. Our published pick is Denver Broncos +2.5 at the draftkings number recorded 2026-09-17T00:06:20+00:00, rated low by cs-nfl-2026.09.2, our preseason-free model, which is still being measured game by game against our published record. That locked number and this projection are what the result is graded against; neither is ever rewritten.
