Buffalo Bills vs Los Angeles Rams Prediction
I’m going to stay with Buffalo. The Bills are feeling it during this current win streak, and they’re coming off a solid performance at home versus the Niners. Buffalo held San Francisco to just 239 total yards (89 passing) and 15 first downs in that one, notching 372 yards and 20 first downs for themselves on the other side. The Bills have been at 30 points or more in six straight games now.
As for Los Angeles, they get credit for a nice comeback win over the Saints, mustering 322 yards (166 passing) and 22 first downs along the way. The Rams haven’t been lighting up the scoreboards lately, however; they’ve been at 21 or fewer points in three of their last four games (a 2-2 run). If Buffalo can maintain their offensive dominance here, I don’t see LA keeping a cover pace.
