Rams vs. Bills NFL Week 14 Betting Lines

Los Angeles Rams NFL Week 14 Betting Lines

The Los Angeles Rams once again demonstrated they have enough firepower to handle mid-to-lower-tier opposition in Week 13, securing a 21-14 victory and covering the NFL spread against New Orleans despite being held scoreless in the first half. If not for thwarting both of the Saints red zone penetrations and coming up with that huge fourth down stop with Derek Carr and Co. looking to tie the game late, it’s highly likely Sean McVay’s troops would’ve returned home with their collective tail between their legs. However, rookie stud DE Jared Verse came up with the deflection and allowed for LA to take knees even though it lost the yardage and time of possession battles. Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua saved the team’s hide in the win, but much more will be expected of the duo in Week 14 betting when it welcomes Josh Allen and the surging Buffalo Bills into SoFi for a critical non-conference bout. A Cooper Kupp sighting would also go a long way after he was held in check by the Saints. The NFL betting market doesn’t seem optimistic about LA’s chances of holding serve, based on current action data from the online sportsbook. However, the “Fighting Staffords” are fighting for their playoff lives, currently sitting outside looking into the NFC playoff picture with just a 20 percent probability of making the postseason.

Back in the win column for the second time in the last three weeks, the Rams odds of winning Super Bowl LIX shortened to 100-1 from 120-1, while their NFC title odds also fell to 45-1 from 50-1. With the Niners and Cardinals each going down in defeat, LA’s odds of winning the NFC West moved to +250 from +425 with its adjusted in-season win total odds jumping back up to 8.5 from 7.5 with heavier vig aligned on the under. The Rams odds of making the playoffs moved to +250, down from +350, with the “No” still the -250 favorite, down from last week’s offering (-500).

Los Angeles Rams Week 14 Matchup

On Sunday, December 8, 2024, the Los Angeles Rams will take on the Buffalo Bills from SoFi Stadium in Englewood, CA. Kickoff time is set for 4:25 p.m. ET with television coverage on FOX. The NFL Week 14 betting lines opened with the Rams installed 3.5-point underdogs and the total set at 48.5-points. You’d think the Rams would be one of the more attractive home dogs of the slate due to the offensive arsenal it brings with it to the gridiron. The betting data doesn’t reflect that however with Los Angeles only being supported with 38 percent of the bets and just over 10 percent of the money. Because of it, the market has corrected (+5) which finds the Rams taking back points in front of the hometown crowd a fourth time this NFL betting season. They’re 1-2 SU and ATS in the prior three instances against the Packers (L), Vikings (W), and Eagles (L) with the over paying off twice and 50 points scored on average. NFL crypto bettors seem confident that this matchup will feature plenty of scoring. Over 60 percent of the tickets and nearly 90 percent of the handle is backing the over, prompting a half-point line move to 49. With heavier juice still favoring the over, a move to 49.5 appears imminent.

Los Angeles Rams Week 13 Recap

The Los Angeles Rams rallied in the second half to secure a 21-14 NFL odds victory over the New Orleans Saints in Week 13, improving to 6-6 SU and 5-7 ATS to remain competitive in the NFC West title race. Kyren Williams led the charge with a season-high 104 rushing yards, including a pivotal 4-yard touchdown that sparked the comeback. Williams' tenth touchdown of the season highlighted his ability to energize the Rams' offense. Matthew Stafford contributed with 183 passing yards and two fourth-quarter touchdown passes, including a 7-yarder to Puka Nacua that gave the Rams the lead for good with a little under nine minutes remaining in the game. Demarcus Robinson also found the end zone with a 3-yard reception. The Rams' offense rebounded from a frustrating first half, capitalizing on strong rushing and efficient second-half execution. Defensively, the Rams held firm in critical moments. Edge rusher Jared Verse delivered a game-saving deflection on Derek Carr's fourth-down pass inside the Rams' 10-yard line late in the game. The Rams then ran out the clock to preserve the victory. Despite being outgained slightly, Los Angeles capitalized on New Orleans' missed opportunities, including a botched 36-yard field goal to get out of the bayou with the win and point spread cover in tow.

2024 Los Angeles Rams Schedule, Results & Record

The Rams have a rich history that began in Cleveland in 1937. They moved to Los Angeles for the first time in 1946, winning one NFL championship and playing in three other championship games between 1949 and 1955. In the late 1960s, the Rams became a powerhouse in the NFL, known for their dominant "Fearsome Foursome" defensive line and quarterback Roman Gabriel, a matinee idol.

Under head coach George Allen, the Rams made the playoffs in 1967 and 1969, though they were eliminated in the divisional round both times. Despite consistent contention, Allen was eventually fired. Coaches Chuck Knox and John Robinson also brought consistent success, but a Super Bowl title remained elusive.

This is the Rams' second stint in Los Angeles, where they originally played from 1946 to 1994 before relocating to St. Louis from 1995 to 2015. In 1999, the Rams won their first Super Bowl championship in franchise history with the “Greatest Show on Turf” captivating NFL fans all season long. They captured their second Super Bowl title in 2021, marking the first Super Bowl win for the Los Angeles version of the Rams. Since their return to LA in 2016, the Rams have been consistent winners, with five playoff berths in the last seven years. In 2020, they moved into SoFi Stadium, the most spectacular and modern stadium of its kind in the world.
