This game has a chance to either be a close game or a complete blowout as the Buccaneers travel to Los Angeles to take on the Los Angeles Rams. However, either way, it is hard to see a way that the Buccaneers come out as winners this week against the defending NFC champs.
With Jameis Winston coming off his best game of the season, with a 3:1 touchdown to interception ratio, the Bucs will need another consistent performance in order to stay on-par with the Rams. Coming off of a win over the Cleveland Browns a week ago on Sunday Night Football, the Rams look to remain undefeated as they take on the pewter and red.
The interior of this Bucs’ offensive line has looked much improved this year, as Ali Marpet, Ryan Jensen, and Alex Cappa have elevated their play. As a result, both Ronald Jones and Peyton Barber have both averaged over four yards per carry; they will face their biggest test today against the back-to-back NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald.
Unfortunately, it is hard to see the Buccaneers keeping this game within two scores. While the Buccaneers may be able to put up some points, the Rams’ offense is much more high powered. Prediction: Rams 34-21.
