Bills-Rams Preview
The Buffalo Bills' 2021 season ended with one of the most memorable playoff games we've ever seen in the NFL, but they didn't walk off that field with the same feeling we might have had when they lost to the Chiefs. Last year, Buffalo went 11-6 winning the AFC East, and heads into 2022 with a win total of 11.5 and more Super Bowl aspirations (+600 at BetMGM).
The Rams obviously have similar goals, looking to defend their own title from last season, sitting at +1100 to win it all again, with a regular season win total of 10.5 after winning 12 in 2021. We'll open the 2022 season with a new Thursday Night Football broadcast, and two teams with lofty goals.
Historical Bills-Rams Trends
There are a few historical betting trends to take note of for this matchup.
Under Sean McDermott, the Bills have gone 10-2 against the first half spread as a road favorite of 3.5 points or less, 13-7 straight up in non-conference games and 48-35 against the full-game spread.
Under Sean McVay, the Rams have gone 9-1 straight up in the first two weeks of the season (+7.6 units, 76.0% ROI).

Buffalo-LA Player Prop Values
Josh Allen Rushing Touchdown +155 on FanDuel
Allen ran it into the end zone six times last year, and the Rams allowed the fifth-most rushing touchdowns last season as well, so there's a solid chance here to take advantage of that price.
The MVP favorite (+700) has high expectations again in 2022, and a big night to open the season would go a long way for the Bills to show they deserve to be the Super Bowl favorites if they're able to knock off the defending champs.
Allen Robinson Over 61.5 Receiving Yards (-115) on BetMGM
Robinson has long been considered one of the most underrated wideouts in the NFL. But last year he played in just 12 games and totaled 410 receiving yards after back-to-back years coming in over 1,100 yards receiving.
Now, he's in a Rams offense with better quarterback play, and Cooper Kupp to help take away the extra attention any defense might send in his direction. I'd expect Robinson to take advantage of that early in the year, and it starts Thursday night.
