By Reed Wallach
The game of the week takes place in Los Angeles, California, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers face the Los Angeles Rams in a possible NFC playoff preview.

But of course, we have to hit some player props, which WynnBET Sportsbook has a full serving of. Here are three:
Tom Brady Over 2.5 Passing Touchdowns (+130)
Brady's on a torrid passing touchdown pace, set to throw more than 76 touchdowns this season.
In a game that has the highest total of the weekend, getting plus money on Brady to toss three touchdowns is a must bet.
Around the goal line, it's clear that Brady is going to be passing especially considering the likes of Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones have shown some turnover issues already this season.
Matthew Stafford over 313.5 Passing Yards (-115)
Again, this is me angling for a shootout, and I'm expecting both passing attacks to reign supreme.
The Bucs secondary is the most vulnerable part of their roster, with injuries to starters such as Sean Murphy-Bunting. Carlton Davis has also been nursing an injury as well.
Stafford threw for 278 yards on just 30 attempts last week in a win over the Colts, and 321 yards in the Week 1 win against the Bears, so I'm counting on him to clear about his average in a high scoring affair.
Leonard Fournette UNDER 22.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
For as much damage as both defenses have done this season against the run, the thought process for many bettors is to lean on receiving yards for running backs instead. In Fournette's case, it makes sense. He's already caught nine passes for the Buccaneers, passing the 22.5 in both games this year.
However, the Rams do not set up well as a team you can dump the ball off to in the flat. Los Angeles ranks seventh-best in the NFL in opposing yards to running backs with 57 on the season as well as just seven catches. That's good for sixth-best in the league.
If we're looking at a high scoring game, expect more opportunities for Giovani Bernard as their primary pass catcher instead of Fournette. I'll go under here. -- Ben Heisler
