Verdict

The Buccaneers have the advantage in nearly all of the offensive statistics, but I'm backing the Rams in this one. Los Angeles had a dominant performance against the Cardinals and they look like the more complete team coming into the game.

Tampa Bay isn't going to be at 100% on its offensive line, and that will be a big factor. With the amount of pressure the Rams can create, Tom Brady might very well be running for his life on Saturday.
