Prediction

This will be a good one. Both teams like to get up-and-down, can score at will and have playmakers who can change the game at a moment’s notice.

Antwan Scott and John Gillon are each coming off a nice game in the opening round, but both will need to be at the top of their games in this one for the Rams to have a shot at pulling out the upset. Ultimately, it’s difficult to bet against a talented Broncos squad. James Webb and Anthony Drmic are a dangerous duo and thrive on the big stage. Look for them to get their own on the scoreboard while getting their team involved, creating open looks. This will be a back-and-forth affair with neither team giving an inch, but the Broncos will prevail and advance.
