Thought this line go to 3 due to everyone's infatuation with Josh Allen and West Coast teams flying across the country, but instead, it went in the proper direction. Simply put, the Rams are the better team this game. The Bills' profile has been elevated thanks to their first two opponents, but Allen is going to face a lot of pressure from L.A.'s defensive front. Meanwhile, Buffalo's defense has not played nearly as well as it did last year. Sean McVay and Jared Goff have adjusted to the adjustments that were made to the Rams in 2019, and they should prove that on Sunday. Loved this at +2.5, but I have L.A. favored in this game, so I'll take it here.

This line has dropped by almost a field goal since last week, but I'm not so sure it's warranted. The Bills will see the return of linebackers Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano in this game, and we already know about Josh Allen's play now that he has a top target in Stefon Diggs. The Rams are getting a big bump for roughing up an Eagles team, but is Philly that good? Now L.A. has to travel back east again against a talented team with a good coach. Lay the point.

This will be a great battle along the line of scrimmage. Right now the Rams are firing on all cylinders on offense, showing the versatility needed to thrive on a consistent basis. Where things can get tough for the Bills is that the Rams have two premier players on defense in DT Aaron Donald and CB Jalen Ramsey. Both can affect the game negatively for Josh Allen and the Bills offense.

This will be the first time Buffalo is favored vs. a winning team since Week 16 in 2016 vs. Miami. The Bills are 10-1 in their past 11 overall as favorites. West Coast teams are unbeaten on the East Coast this season, granted, but the Rams flew all the way home from Philly last week and now have to fly back East and play again at 10 a.m. Pacific!? Frankly, the Rams' 2-0 record doesn't look at that great now after seeing how the Cowboys and Eagles have played in their other game. Bills win by a field goal.

Buffalo has been fortunate to play the Jets and Dolphins in their first two games (1-1 ATS) while the Rams won and covered against both the Cowboys and Eagles. Let’s just say the Rams' rating is seven and eight points better than what the Bills have faced. Buffalo QB Josh Allen has thrived so far, and it's not entirely based on the defenses he's faced. The Rams running game and a trimer Jared Goff have made their balanced offense tough to stop. Over is the play here.

The Rams have been a covering machine on the East Coast. Aaron Donald is going to make Josh Allen uncomfortable. Jared Goff is playing really well, and he's being supported by a strong running game. This is a big jump up in class from what the Bills have been facing (Jets, Dolphins). Take the points.

To be clear, Los Angeles is the better team, and its 5-0 straight-up record on early kickoffs since Sean McVay became coach offers some appeal. But travel plans were thrown askew when the pandemic forced them to fly home after winning at Philadelphia instead of bunking all week in the Eastern Time Zone. Also, Bufffalo’s offense is one of only four that has been more productive than the Rams’, and QB Josh Allen tops the league in passing yards.
