Rams vs Bills Prediction
Buffalo comes into this matchup after picking up their first loss of the season last week and they have allowed 29+ points in three of their four games. The Bills may struggle to get stops, but they have scored at least 26 points in three of their first four games. Los Angeles has been pretty inconsistent this year and they were very lucky to win last week in Philly. The Rams have a ton of talent, but something just seems a little off to start the year. This is a very high number, but I love both offenses and I am taking the over here.
