Two 4-10 teams having extremely disappointing seasons meet in this matchup with Denver losing five of its past six and Los Angeles on the losing end seven of its past eight games. Denver does come off a 24-15 victory over Arizona as backup Brett Rypien led three second-half scoring drives, but Russell Wilson is set to return this week and that might not be good news for Bronco fans. Wilson has a 37.1 QB rating after signing a huge contract with Denver and the Broncos have lost eight of his past nine starts. Baker Mayfield will get his third start for the Rams, who lost 24-12 at Green Bay on Monday night. Mayfield orchestrated the miraculous 98-yard drive in the final two minutes to beat Las Vegas, but he couldn't follow up with a big game against the Packers when he threw for 111 yards. Still, Denver is in no position to be a road favorite and it is 3-7 ATS its past 10 road contests and 1-6 ATS overall following a win. The Rams have covered six of their past seven December games and had gotten the money three straight before playing the Packers. Play the Rams.
