Last season, the Rams and Buccaneers were fighting for a spot in the NFC Championship game. Now, they’re fighting to get into the playoffs. 

Tampa Bay and Los Angeles have been less than impressive this season, but with a lot of football to go, they can turn this season around. 

We still have a a majority of the playmakers from last year’s playoff game. How will they fare this year?

Best Prop Bets For Rams-Buccaneers

  • Tom Brady OVER 280.5 Passing Yards
  • Leonard Fournette UNDER 3.5 Receptions
  • Mike Evans OVER 5.5 Receptions

Tom Brady OVER 280.5 Passing Yards

Los Angeles hasn’t looked great this year and it starts with the defense. The Rams haven’t been able to get a pass rush, or be dominant in the back end. They are 26th in opponent yards per pass. That bodes well for a Bucs offense that is first in pass play percentage. Tampa Bay will throw, throw and throw some more, which will send Brady to the OVER.

Leonard Fournette UNDER 3.5 Receptions

Fournette hasn’t cleared 3.5 targets over the last two games, much less receptions. The Buccaneers are a pass-first team, but Fournette can’t dominate in that space because of Rachaad White’s presence. Fournette has been mediocre in the last two weeks, and I’m not sold on the idea of a bounce back game this week. 

Mike Evans OVER 5.5 Receptions

This is my favorite prop on the board. Mike Evans, over the last two weeks 26 targets.

That’s absolutely insane.

Brady is looking his way, and Evans has delivered. Evans has 15 catches in the last two weeks. The Rams are 28th in opponent completion percentage and are18th in sack percentage. If they give Brady time and a clean pocket, he’s going to find his favorite receiver.
