Matchups to watch The matchup between the Los Angeles Rams versus

Los Angeles Rams at Denver Broncos:the Denver Broncos is a tale of two ends of the spectrum.On one end is the Rams who are 5-0 and sit comfortably at the top of the NFC West rankings. On the other end is the Broncos who are 2-3 Joe Namath Jersey , sit third in the AFC West, and are looking to rebound and regroup after a rough game vs the New York Jets.Let’s take a look at some of the matchups to watch:CB Nickell Robey-Coleman vs WR Emmanuel SandersThis is going to be a battle of two heavy weights. When the Broncos get into three WR sets, Sanders typically kicks into the slot where NRC lines up. Sanders is a route running extraordinaire who also has a great set of hands and underrated speed. He’s the top dog the Rams will have to pay extra attention to in the passing game. Luckily for the Rams, NRC has likely been the Rams’ best CB so far making this battle a fun one.WR Robert Woods vs CB Chris Harris JrAlthough the news sounds positive for WR’s Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp, we aren’t sure at this point if they’ll be able to suit up. If they can’t, look for Jared Goff to target Woods a bunch. After both Cooks and Kupp were knocked out in week five, Woods came alive ripping off massive chunk plays for the offense. Woods finished the game with 140+ yards from scrimmage. This week he’ll likely draw Chris Harris Jr, the Broncos’ best cornerback.Rams’ run defense vs RB’s Phillip Lindsay and Royce FreemanThe Broncos have one of the best backfields in the NFL headlined by two rookies in Lindsay and Freeman. Combined, they nearly have 600 rushing yards and both are averaging over 5 yards per carry. The two runners contrast each other well with Lindsay being an electric and quick one-cut runner with awesome receiving ability (and running) and Freeman being more of a powerful hard to-get-down runner. The Rams’ front-seven is coming off a game where they were just abused versus the run Nolan Cromwell Jersey Salute to Service , but I actually expect them to have a bounce back game and limit the Broncos’ rushing attack.OLB Samson Ebukam vs Billy TurnerIs this the week the Rams’ edge rushers finally start to make a larger impact? It could (maybe should?) be. Starting RT Jared Veldheer sounds like he’ll miss a second consecutive game and LT Garrett Bolles is banged up. Ebukam and Matt Longacre will get to go against an experienced backup in Billy Turner who has 29 games of NFL experience. Look for Ebukam to improve his sack total (one) this week.OT’s Andrew Whitworth/Rob Havenstein vs DE’s Von Miller/Bradley ChubbThis matchup will be one of the most interesting from the entire game. The rookie (Chubb) only has 1.5 sacks on the season, though the same cannot be said for Von Miller. Miller currently has four sacks, two of which are forced fumbles. Miller looks better than ever and will likely be a handful for the Rams’ bookend tackles in Whitworth and Havenstein. I do think the Rams have the edge here because the offensive line has been downright brilliant, but the Broncos’ edge duo could get themselves a few wins too.ILB Cory Littleton vs P Colby WadmanCory Littleton has multiple blocked punts this season. He’s established himself as one of the great special teams players in the league today, maybe even ever. As for Wadman, he’s only had eight punts in the league (all of which came the past game). Marquette King was recently released, so look for Littleton to chase Wadman like a cheetah hunts it’s prey. The Los Angeles Rams simply have to show up in Denver, deal with the snowy weather conditions, and handle their business against the Denver Broncos. Even though the LA Rams are a superior team in most areas Jacob McQuaide Jersey , the Denver Broncos are much better than their performance last week against the New York Jets. I’m still picking the Rams to win without much of a struggle. But how will they win?Let’s get bold.Marcus Peters will prove that he’s healthy with his best game of the seasonOur favorite ball hawk CB, Marcus Peters, has stumbled a bit in the past couple of weeks, probably due to complications with his calf injury that he may have returned too early from. He says he’s 100%, while Grandpa Wade says that he’s been battling injury issues. Regardless, Peters will be playing with a chip on his shoulder in Denver, well aware of the criticism. I predict that Peters will have 2 interceptions, and one of them will be a 50+ return for a touchdown.The Broncos run game will be shut down RB Royce Freeman and RB Phillip LIndsay have a combined for 5.5 yards per carry for the Broncos, which been the most positive element of their offense so far this season. However Authentic Johnny Hekker Jersey , the Rams’ defensive line has been answering questions all week about their inability to stop the run and Ndamukong Suh, Michael Brockers, and Aaron Donald are cause some havoc. Look for the Rams’ D to keep the Broncos’ running game to less than 50 yards while causing two fumbles (the snow makes football fun!)Todd Gurley II goes for five touchdowns because he canLast week, the Broncos failed to contain the New York Jets’ running backs in space, allowing them to get to the second level, eventually amassing 323 yards on the ground. RB Todd Gurley II thrives in situations llike this, which makes him destined to rush for over 200 yards and five touchdowns. No turnovers for the Rams’ offenseEven though QB Jared Goff doesn’t have a long history of playing games in cold conditions, I predict that he’ll play smart and clean, not giving up any turnovers. In fact Limited Lamarcus Joyner Jersey Salute to Service , Goff will throw for for 275+ yards,even tossing a couple of touchdown passes to keep the narrative going that he’s elite.This game presents a handful of challenges, so predicting a blowout against a defense led by LB Von Miller is not the smartest decision. But that’s why I’m paid the big bucks. Rams win, 52-6
