The Buffalo Bills (3-1) and the LA Rams (2-2) meet for Monday Night Football at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET (ABC / ESPN). Let's analyze NFL prop bet odds around the Bills vs. Rams and tab the 5 best prop bets to go along with SportsbookWire's expert NFL picks and predictions for Week 5.

The last time these teams met in SoCal, the Rams escaped with a wild 44-42 victory as 3.5-point underdogs as the Over (49.5) cashed for their first victory in this series since Dec. 9, 2012.

In that 44-42 barn burner in the most recent encounter, the Rams piled up 457 total yards, to 445 for the Bills, as QB Matthew Stafford outdueled QB Josh Allen. Bills WR Khalil Shakir had 5 receptions for 106 yards and a TD,

Allen threw for 342 yards, 3 TDs and he ran for 82 yards and 3 more scores. The Rams had a blocked punt return for TD, while Stafford posted 320 passing yards and 2 TDs, WR Puka Nacua sparkled with 12 grabs, 162 yards and a score, while RB Kyren Williams posted 87 rushing yards and 2 TDs.

Buffalo is looking to rebound after a 29-26 loss at home to the New England Patriots. The Bills have scored 24+ in all 4 games to date, but they've also allowed 29+ in 3 of 4 outings.

L.A. won at the Philadelphia Eagles 24-20 in Week 4, and it has scored 24+ in the past 3 games after a 27-7 loss in Australia against the San Francisco 49ers to start the season. The Rams have allowed 20+ in 3 of 4 games, so we might be in store for another high-scoring affair.

Bills QB JOSH ALLEN - ANYTIME TOUCHDOWN (-120)

Allen has passed for 1,039 yards and 6 TDs to this point, which is fine. It's not great, it's not bad. But, his real damage to the opposition has been with his legs, especially when the Bills start sniffing around the goal line.

Allen has 33 carries for 118 yards this season, which is not terribly impressive. He is averaging just 3.6 yards per attempt. But, Allen also has 7 rushing TDs, including 2 apiece in each of the 3 victories, and 1 last week in the loss to the Pats.

Rams RB KYREN WILLIAMS - ANYTIME TOUCHDOWN (-160)

The price for a Williams Anytime TD seems a bit steep on the surface, as you must risk more than 1.5 times your potential return. However, the risk is more than worth it considering his long-term touchdown scoring ways.

In his past 48 NFL games, Williams has piled up 39 rushing TDs and 9 more receiving scores, averaging a touchdown per game across nearly 3 full seasons. That's impressive no matter how you slice it, and why he is so expensive for this prop. It's worth it, though.

Rams QB MATTHEW STAFFORD OVER 1.5 RUSHING YARDS (+102)

Stafford certainly isn't going to outrush Allen, nor is the veteran trying to do that. He barely ever runs. But, he surprisingly has 23 rushing yards in the past 2 games, including 10+ yards in each of those outings.

Stafford could have a strong Buffalo pass rush, led by Greg Rousseau, bearing down on him, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him take off. It shouldn't be shocking to see him gain at least 6 feet, right? At plus-money, it's worth a roll of the dice.

Bills LB GREG ROUSSEAU TO RECORD A SACK (+136)

A lot of the chatter on the telecast will be about Aaron Donald, or perhaps even a guy not playing in Myles Garrett. L.A., L.A., L.A. And, certainly Donald deserves his flowers, and the Los Angeles defense is impressive. Whatever. But, Rousseau has been an unheralded defensive star through the first 4 games.

Rousseau has recorded 6 sacks this season, and that puts him in second place in the NFL, which is impressive considering he primarily plays outside linebacker. He was the AFC Defensive Player of the Month in September, posting 6 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 15 tackles and 8 TFLs while also tossing in a pass defensed for good measure. The 6 sacks in the first 3 games actually set a franchise record, too. He is on a mission.

RAMS 2+ MADE FIELD GOALS (-125)

If you're a bit of a casual fan, and aren't familiar with Harrison Mevis' game, or frame, you're going to think the wrong guy is lining up for kicks. The "Thiccer Kicker", the nickname for Mevis, stands 6-foot-0 and 245 pounds. No kidding.

He isn't a novelty, though. He is quite good at his job, amassing 20 points in the past 2 games, including 4 field goals in his most recent primetime game on Sunday night in Denver in Week 3.
