Why bet on LAR versus Tampa Bay?

In week 2, the Rams played the Colts on the road. Although they didn’t cover, they played a great game when scoring 27 versus a good defense and holding an offense with an excellent line to 24 points. No doubt, the Rams had this game in the back of their minds. The Rams are solid on both offense and defense. Stafford is an upgrade at quarterback and the Rams get the defending champs on their field.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Los Angeles Rams Final Betting Prediction

This should be a close, tough battle. Both teams rely on strong defense and excellent quarterback play. But although Tampa Bay has become the favorite and they can definitely win this, the value is on the home team.

Tampa averages 39 points per game because in week 2 the defense ran back a couple of errant Matt Ryan passes for pick sixes in the 48-25 win over the Falcons. Heading into the fourth quarter of that game, the score was TB 28 and Atlanta 25.

Stafford doesn’t make many mistakes. Staff won’t gift Tampa points. 

More importantly, the Bucs’ defense allows 342 passing yards per. If Aaron Donald and LAR’s defense does their job, the Rams should win this because we know Stafford will light up the Bucs’ secondary.
