Broncos vs Rams Preview
Broncos vs Rams projects as a close game between two of the best teams in the NFL. While the Rams are the better side, I don't want to take them on the road in a tough environment at Mile High, especially with Puka Nacua doubtful to play.
Under 44.5 (-118)
That's why we're starting off this Broncos vs Rams parlay with Under 44.5.
For one, we're getting above the key number of 44, meaning we can win with a common scoreline like 24-20.
With Nacua out against a tough defense, I'm expecting the Rams to emphasize the running game. More runs mean longer possessions, which bodes well for the Under here.
On top of that, the Broncos offense has struggled so far this year, looking underwhelming against both the Chiefs and the Jaguars, which is also good news for the Under.
Kyren Williams Over 53.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
For player props, we're sticking with the theme: more rushing volume.
We'll start off with Kyren Williams Over 53.5 rushing yards, who is going up against a Broncos defense that has struggled against the run so far.
We saw them get gashed by Kenneth Walker in Week 1, and Denver is currently 32nd in Rush EPA and 24th in Success Rate allowed. Look for Williams to get more opportunities than usual.

RJ Harvey Over 20.5 Rushing Yards (-109)
I'll finish up with RJ Harvey Over 20.5 rushing yards.
This is too low a bar for him — since he missed Week 2 — but he played more than expected in Week 1. We only saw three carries, but that was in a blowout game script.
With Jonah Coleman out, expect Harvey to get about 7-8 carries here, which should be enough to clear this number.
Remember, it's not like JK Dobbins will be a bell cow in this offense. With Nix off to a slow start, look for Denver to try to get their running game going to help him out.
