This is a great Monday night matchup, with two premier top-10 defenses, and offenses that can be boom-or-bust. The Buccaneers have struggled in primetime this season, losing to the Chicago Bears, and suffering a demoralizing loss to the Saints. The Rams are 17th in points per game but have the 2nd rated defense on a point per game basis. I expect this to be a defensive battle with plenty of pressure on both quarterbacks, which may lead to turnovers and a lower-scoring game. My best bet on the night is taking the under at 48.5 points.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Los Angeles Rams Best Bet: UNDER 48.5.
I like playing a teaser with the Rams +10.5 and under 55.5 points.
Player Props: Tom Brady under 300 passing yards.
This line has continued to drop throughout the day, but I would still take anything north of 285 yards.
First Touchdown: Mike Evans +850
There’s a lot of possibilities for the first touchdown scorer, but if I had to select one player, I would go with Mike Evans, who leads the Buccaneers with 8 receiving touchdowns.
