Traveling to LA is going to be no easy task for the Bucs. The main focus on offense will be how do they contain Arron Donald, who has won back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year awards.

The offense is going to have to score points for the Bucs to have a chance. Mike Evans is coming off his best game while Chris Godwin is coming off his worst. The Rams defense has held all three quarterbacks they have faced to less than 200 yards passing. Something has to give in this matchup, and I think the Bucs will at least end that streak.

On the defensive side of the Ball, the Bucs looked fantastic until last week. Rookie Daniel Jones carved the defense up in his first career start and did so without 2018 Offensive Rookie of the Year Saquon Barkley to his disposal for a whole half.

The Rams have a high-powered offense that has gotten off to a slow start this year. The Bucs run defense has looked sharp over the first three weeks, and Todd Gurley has been the opposite of that so far.

That means we should expect a lot of passing to Kupp, Woods, and cooks. They have a prime opportunity to change the way the offense has looked against a secondary ripe for the picking. In the end, I think it will be too much of the Rams offense, and they win the game 38-27.
