JOSH ALLEN- 37.5 Passing Attempts: OVER

I don't see the Buffalo Bills establishing the run against the Los Angeles Rams up front. I am anticipating this game to be a shoot-out, and if the Bills are going to compete, it will be due to the right arm of Josh Allen. I expect Allen to clear this number. Take the Over.

JOSH ALLEN- 2 Passing Touchdowns: OVER

We will get into the Bills running game shortly, but I don't see them finding much success early this season. In the past, the Bills have used Josh Allen as a runner around the goal line. The Buffalo coaching staff has spoken openly about keeping Allen healthy and leaning away from running him as much. Since this game should have plenty of points, I'll take the Over.

STEFON DIGGS- 75.5 Receiving Yards: OVER

Whereas I expect Gabe Davis to line up predominantly on the outside of the formation, the Bills can move Stefon Diggs all around the offense. I am buying a bounce-back season for Stefon Diggs, and I believe it kicks off in the opener. Take the Over. 

DEVIN SINGLETARY- 48.5 Rushing Yards: UNDER

The Buffalo Bills have stated they will use a running back by committee approach in 2022. Devin Singletary, James Cook, and Zack Moss will be involved in various roles. While I believe Singletary will be the leader of this backfield, these roles will develop over time. In the opener, I'm taking the Under.

CAM AKERS- 12 Rushing Attempts: UNDER

The Rams and Sean McVay have spoken openly about their transition from a lead back philosophy to a running back by committee approach. I expect Darrell Henderson to be just as involved early in the season. Twelve rushing attempts feel a bit aggressive--I'll take the Under.

CAM AKERS- 46.5 Rushing Yards: UNDER

If you are not getting the attempts, it is tough to produce the yards. I expect the Rams to ease Cam Akers into the season. I'll take the Under.

ALLEN ROBINSON- 59.5 Receiving Yards: OVER

The Los Angeles Rams coaching staff have sung the praises of Allen Robinson all off-season long. I expect the Bills to focus their defensive efforts to stop Cooper Kupp. A-Rob will receive a ton of one-on-one coverage. Take the Over.

ALLEN ROBINSON- 4.5 Receptions: OVER

As I stated above, I believe the Rams will want to get their newly acquired free agent involved in the offensive game plan early and often. Allen Robinson would like to revitalize his career in Los Angeles, and I expect the relationship to get off to a fine start. Take the Over.
