CBS Sports writer John Breech has tipped Denver to beat the Los Angeles Rams 27–24 in one of his NFL Week 3 forecasts. The prediction is a call about an upcoming game, not a result.

Breech’s reasoning centres on the Rams’ travel and short turnaround after playing on Monday night, alongside Denver’s home advantage. He describes the teams as evenly matched but expects those conditions to favour the Broncos.

He also picks Tampa Bay to upset Minnesota, whose defence he rates highly, and backs San Francisco over Miami as his “Best pick”. The supplied material gives no score for the 49ers–Dolphins forecast.

Other listed selections include Green Bay over Atlanta, Buffalo over the Los Angeles Chargers, Philadelphia over Chicago and San Francisco 24–16 over Arizona.

A separate SportsLine projection cited in the source package has the Rams beating Denver 22–21. That is a different forecast from Breech’s pick; neither prediction represents a game result.
