Rams vs. Buccaneers Prediction: Runnin’ with the Rams (NFL Week 9)

The 3-4 Los Angeles Rams travel to Tampa Bay to take on Tom Brady and the 3-5 Buccaneers in a NFC Divisional round rematch.

The Rams haven’t quite hit the ground running this season, after their Lombardi Trophy winning campaign last season.

They haven’t quite clicked on offense and Matthew Stafford has looked a bit shaky.

The Rams offensive line has been decimated with injuries, which has caused Matt Stafford to throw more interceptions and get hit early and often in almost every game.

Matthew Stafford:

2021: 41 TD, 17 INT
2022 pace: 17 TD, 19 INT

On the other side, Tom Brady hasn’t been much better.

The Bucs are also struggling on both sides of the ball and Brady hasn’t been able to get things rolling.

He hasn’t turned the ball over except one time, but that hasn’t mattered.

The Bucs have lost 3 straight games and are in the middle of the pack of the NFC South.

They need to start grabbing some wins; in the division, the conference and just in general.

Will the Rams bully their way to a victory on Sunday or will the Bucs right the ship and sail away with a W?

Prediction

Both of these teams have looked shaky of late but the Bucs really do look the worse of the 2.

Both of these teams are getting to the point where they need to start stacking wins or their season might start slipping away.

I trust the Rams a bit more than I do the Bucs right now, and I think they come into Tamps Bay and keep this close and possibly win outright.

I love the Rams with the points.

Best Bet

Rams +3 (-118)

Props

Tom Brady o270.5 Pass Yards (-114)

I love this play.

Tom has been racking up yards the past month, going over 271 in 5 of their last 6 games.

He has also had 300+ in 3 of those 6 as well.

Trusting Tom to throw it all over the yard once again.

Leonard Fournette ATTD (-105)

I love the value here for Fournette to get into the End zone.

He has 5 TDs in their last 5 games and a touchdown in 4 of those 5.

When the Bucs get in the red zone, Big Lenny gets his chances.

For -105, I love the value!
