Game Preview

What a shock to see the Bills get stunned at home by the Patriots. It was 29-26 for New England, with Josh Allen getting picked late, which eventually decided the game.

Bills’ rushing was poor, even though James Cook had one TD and 75 yards. Overall, Buffalo posted 91 yards on the ground, while the current average is 139 yards. The difference is obvious, and sometimes, even Josh Allen can’t cover that.

The Rams beat the Eagles in Philly, 24-20, after a superb 10-point rally in the 4th. And check this out: Matt Stafford didn’t throw a single TD pass and was picked off twice. He threw for 317 yards, completing 32 of 51 passes and the Rams still won.

RB Kyren Williams pushed the Rams with 2 rushing touchdowns, while Puka Nacua had one. We also have to mention Byron Young, who had 2.5 sacks.

Bills vs. Rams Predictions

NFL bettors debate whether 54.5 total is too inflated. Our opinion: not at all. Why? Because the Rams produce 417yards per game, and the Bills 386.2. The Rams’ offense isn’t that efficient when executing, yet given that the Bills allow almost 27 per game, the hosts will have plenty of chances to notch points. As for the Bills and their offense, we don’t need to say much. Josh Allen and James Cook will speak for themselves.
