The Los Angeles Times' Week 5 NFL picks column, dated Oct. 8, 2026, has the Rams beating the Bills. The same column also picks the 49ers to beat the Seahawks.
This is a prediction, not a result. The part of the column we have doesn't include a predicted score or any reasoning for the Rams-Bills pick.
The picks come from Farmer, who went 11-5 last week, according to the Los Angeles Times. The column puts his season record at 37-27, but it says that covers the first three weeks, even though it also reports his Week 4 results.
Against the spread, the column says Farmer would have gone 9-7 in Week 4 based on the scores he predicted. That puts him at 25-39 against the spread for the season.
The Chiefs and Panthers are off this week, according to the column. It lists all times in Pacific and lists TV for Los Angeles-area broadcasts.
