Rams at Bills: Odds, betting lines, picks and prediction
Prediction
Rams 26, Bills 24
Moneyline (?)
The Bills come into this one as the home favorites with the Rams once again traveling across the country for the second week in a row. It didn’t bother them last week and it hasn’t in the last three seasons, which limits the legitimacy of a home-field advantage for Buffalo – especially with no fans in attendance.
I like the RAMS (+105) in this one simply based on the coaching prowess of Sean McVay, who will draw up a game plan to counter the Bills’ stout defense.
Against the Spread (?)
Despite only going 9-7 last season, the Rams were good against the spread down the stretch. They’re 6-3-1 ATS in their last 10 games dating back to last season and covered in each of the first two weeks this year.
Getting 2 points is a bonus because the Rams can play with anyone and should at least keep it close with Buffalo, if not win outright. Take the RAMS +2 (-110).
Over/Under (?)
The Over/Under (46.5) is difficult to predict in this game because both offenses can put up points in a hurry, but their defenses are also among the best in the league. QB Jared Goff and QB Josh Allen have both been susceptible to turnovers in recent years and it’s reasonable to expect each to have at least one giveaway in this game.
I’m taking the OVER 46.5 (-110) and betting that both offenses turn this one into a shootout.
