After clinching an AFC East title at home, Buffalo heads out west to take on the Rams.
Buffalo is 10-2 this year and winners of seven straight games. The Bills are coming off back-to-back home games and wins over the Chiefs and 49ers, so this is a letdown spot on the road in Los Angeles. Buffalo’s losses came on the road this year in back-to-back road spots similar to this spot at Los Angeles this week and Detroit next week.
The Rams are 6-6 on the season and catching ground in the NFC West race. Los Angeles is 5-2 since the bye week and 2-2 in the past four games. With the return of Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, the Rams offense has been clicking and Matthew Stafford has eight touchdowns to zero interceptions over the last three games.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Josh Allen to throw an interception on the road against the Rams:
“Josh Allen started the season without throwing an interception for seven straight games but in the past five games, Allen has tossed a pick in four of the past five.
Allen did not throw an interception last week against the 49ers in a 35-10 win but that was in a snowstorm and at home. This is in a road game and inside a dome, so Allen should be throwing early and often against the Rams.
Los Angeles ranks 11th in the NFL with 10 interceptions on the season, so there should be a few chances at a turnover. I like Allen to go Over 0.5 interceptions at +105 odds.”
