Quarterback Russell Wilson is expected to return to the starting lineup when the Denver Broncos face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday in an NFL contest between 4-10 teams that have been eliminated from the postseason.

Wilson suffered a concussion late in the Dec. 11 game against Kansas City and, despite clearing concussion protocol, did not play Sunday against Arizona Cardinals as a precaution. 

Wilson faces a familiar foe. The Rams were 8-12 against Wilson when he played for the Seattle Seahawks from 2012-21. 

Here's everything you need from a betting perspective on the Broncos-Rams game, from the point spread, moneyline, total Over/Under and expert pick (odds via FOX Bet):

Aaron Rodgers leads Packers over Baker Mayfield, Rams

Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe react to Green Bay's win over Los Angeles.

Broncos at Rams (4:30 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS)

Point spread: Broncos -2.5 (Broncos favored to win by more than 2.5 points, otherwise Rams cover)
Moneyline: Broncos -149 favorites to win (bet $10 to win $16.71 total); Rams +115 underdogs to win (bet $10 to win $21.50 total)
Total scoring Over/Under: 36.5 points scored by both teams combined

Pick via FOX Sports NFL Analyst Geoff Schwartz:

Baker Mayfield has played two games for the Rams. For all but five minutes of those two games, he’s looked just average at best. Now Mayfield is playing the best passing defense in the NFL and the Broncos know they can only win with their defense right now. 

Mayfield threw for less than 150 yards against the Raiders before those final two drives where he played his best ball of the season. Then last weekend he threw for 111 yards against the Packers. 

The Broncos have only allowed over 198 yards just seven times this season, and most of those quarterbacks are at the top of the league. Baker Mayfield is not. Take his Under passing yards. 

PICK: Baker Mayfield Under 184.5 passing yards at FOX Bet
