The Los Angeles Rams (3-4) take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-5) Sunday in an important NFC battle for both teams. Kickoff from Raymond James Stadium will be at 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS) this weekend. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Rams vs. Buccaneers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Rams are fresh off a 31-14 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8, dropping them below .500 for the second time this season — and only the second time in Sean McVay’s head coaching career. The Rams’ offense has been shockingly bad this season, ranking 28th in points per game (16.9).
The Buccaneers have been equally disappointing this season, starting the year 3-5 with wins against the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons. They’re currently on a 3-game losing skid, the first time QB Tom Brady has lost 3 in a row since 2002. The Buccaneers rank 25th in the NFL with 18.3 points per game after finishing 2nd in the league last year.
