TALL ORDER. Like it or not, the Buffalo Bills are Super Bowl favorites. As such, they have a huge target on their backs.

No one is going to underestimate the Bills this season.

That’s why I expect they might very well stumble out of the gate tonight in Los Angeles.

The Rams were the best team in football last season. I picked them to win in all but two games on their run to Super Bowl glory.

They are a great team, playing at home against an East Coast team in the NFL season opener. Why they are favored to lose is a bit bewildering.

Don’t get me wrong, while I mightily hope the Bills dominate tonight, one should not be surprised if the Rams find a way to win.

FREDDIE sees it this way:

RAMS 24, Bills 21
