Los Angeles Rams 28 — Bills 24
I don't think Buffalo has anyone that can deal with the Puka Nacua-Davante Adams-Kyren Williams trio, so the Rams should put some points on the board here. Pick: Rams 28, Bills 24

Los Angeles Rams to beat Bills
I, I like the Rams. Sounds like Debutts does as well.
Los Angeles Rams 38 — Bills 34
I kinda like just a a thirty eight thirty four Rams victory. I think they've kinda been, you know, a little bit underwhelming so far, and do the Bills have enough?

I chose the Rams before we did break. I'm not gonna walk away. Definitely still am taking the Rams. I think they win by seven.

2. Rams Lose to Bills Before Going on a Winning Streak ... A loss to the Bills isn’t the worst thing. That would put the Rams at 2-3
Los Angeles Rams to beat Bills
I'm going two on the Rams... the Rams are better in terms of pass defense than Buffalo is and Stafford. It's gonna be a little bit of a get right game for him.
Buffalo Bills to beat Rams
I think the Bills not only win, I think they win by double digits... And the Bills win by at least 10 points. That is my bold prediction.
Buffalo Bills 31 — Rams 28
31-28, Bills. I just think Josh Allen has one of those Josh Allen games
