Best Bills vs Rams NFL Same-Game Parlay
- Same-game parlays are a fun wager to make if you’re trying to cash big
- Like playing the lottery, you can wager a little to win a lot
- See the 70-1 Bills vs Rams same-game parlay we made for the NFL season opener on Thursday (September 8)
Same-game parlays are the perfect way to sweat NFL island games. Like the lottery, we can risk a little to win a lot, and we don’t have to worry about monitoring six or seven games to find out if our bet is a winner.
Unlike the lottery though, there are things we can do to increase our chances for success. The biggest one is trying to correlate our wagers, effectively reducing the number of things we need to get right.
Our first opportunity to make an NFL regular season same-game parlay is right around the corner, as we prepare our Buffalo Bills vs LA Rams picks.

LA Rams Moneyline
The reigning Super Bowl champs are 14-2 in the last 16 Thursday Night Football season openers. The Bucs won a thriller over the Cowboys in 2021, while the 2017 Patriots are the last defending champ to drop their opening Thursday game.

— Los Angeles Rams (@RamsNFL) September 6, 2022
LA is 5-0 in season openers under Sean McVay, while the Bills lost their opening contest last season versus Pittsburgh as a 6.5-point home favorite.
LA Rams Over 26.5 Points
The Rams averaged 27 points per game last season, finishing ninth in total offense. Nearly all of the key contributors are back from a season ago. LA has been a top-10 offensive unit in four of McVay’s five seasons, despite four of those coming with Jared Goff under center.
Buffalo’s defense was incredibly stingy in 2021, but that was partially due to their strength of schedule. The Bills had the 24th easiest set of opponents last year, compared to the 12th hardest this season.
Matthew Stafford Under 279.5 Passing Yards
Stafford averaged 273 passing yards per game in his first year with the Rams, while Buffalo is going to do everything they can to make LA’s ground game beat them. The Rams can expect to see plenty of soft boxes as the Bills retreat to six and even seven defensive back looks.

— First Take (@FirstTake) September 5, 2022
This was a common scheme against potent offenses for Buffalo last season. As a result, they faced the third-fewest amount of passing attempts in the league.
Allen Robinson Under 69.5 Receiving Yards
If we believe Stafford is going to see reduced volume, one of if not both of his main targets will see less work – it’s all about correlation. Fading Cooper Kupp is never a good idea, leaving Allen Robinson as the odd receiver out.
It will take some time for A-Rob and Stafford to build chemistry, while Robinson failed to reach 70 receiving yards in all 12 of his 2021 outings.

Cam Akers Over 50.5 Rushing Yards
LA want Cam Akers to be their lead back. There’s no way they’d rush him back from an Achilles injury like they did last year if that wasn’t the case. If we project a higher volume of rushing attempts than usual, Akers should see an increased workload.
Cam Akers Anytime Touchdown
More carries equals more opportunities for touchdowns. Injuries have prevented him from big-time production through Akers’ first two seasons, but now that he’s healthy and not on the Bills vs Rams injury report big things are expected.

Don’t forget this is a player who scored 18 touchdowns in his final season at Florida State.
Josh Allen Over 279.5 Passing Yards
The Bills have a predicted team total of 26.6. If they’re going to come anywhere near that number, it will be thanks to Josh Allen’s arm.

— Bussin' With The Boys (@BussinWTB) September 5, 2022
Buffalo was one of the league leaders in pass rate over expectation last season and that shouldn’t change this year. Allen, one of the prime targets in the Bills vs Rams props, cleared 300 yards in six of his nine 2021 contests versus playoff teams.
Stefon Diggs Over 74.5 Receiving Yards
Expect Diggs to be busy on Thursday like he was all of last season. Diggs saw just shy of 10 targets per game (9.6) in 2021, catching 103 balls for 1,225 yards.

— PFF Fantasy & Betting (@PFF_Fantasy) August 31, 2022
Yes, the Rams defense features shutdown DB Jalen Ramsey, but Buffalo will scheme Diggs away from his coverage.
Gabriel Davis Anytime Touchdown
The Gabe Davis hype train may be completely off the rails at this moment, but there’s no denying he has a nose for the end zone. Once he saw increased snaps in 2021 his production went through the roof.
I, for one, cannot wait to see Gabriel Davis scoring some MF'ing touchdowns again pic.twitter.com/M9iTz6rhvO
— Davis Mattek (@DavisMattek) September 1, 2022
He scored in five of his final seven games including a four-touchdown effort in the Divisional Round. Clearly, he’s a preferred target for Allen in scoring positions.
Add it all up and we have ourselves a fun, 70-1 same-game parlay to sweat when the NFL returns to our lives on Thursday Night Football.
