Pick 1: Rams +3 (-118)
The Los Angeles Rams didn’t look good last week in their second loss of the season against the San Francisco 49ers. However, their offensive line looked a lot better and reduced Matthew Stafford’s sacked total to just two in the rematch after allowing seven sacks in Week 4.
That improved offensive line play should be a lot more impactful against an average at best Tampa Bay pass rush. Banged up and missing bodies, the Bucs won’t present the same level of challenge the Niners gave the Rams last week. With more time to operate, Matthew Stafford should be able to keep pace with Tom Brady in a veteran quarterback duel and keep the Rams close.

Pick 2: Mike Evans Over 66.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Mike Evans continues to put up big numbers on a weekly basis despite the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ struggles. Evans put up 123 receiving yards on six catches in Tampa’s 27-22 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, his second 100+ receiving yard performance this season.
With the Bucs struggling to run the football, Evans is a sure bet to get 10 or more targets every game at this point. Being Brady’s best available receiving option still guarantees big stat lines and Evans should have another productive day against the Rams.

Pick 3: Cooper Kupp Over 88.5 Receiving Yards (-122)
Cooper Kupp has been productive but slightly off his typical best in the world receiving numbers in recent weeks. The Rams struggles to protect Matt Stafford have impacted Krupp’s stats ever so slightly as Kupp has been 20 yards off his 100 receiving yard average the past two weeks.
Expect Kupp to get back to the 100 yard mark this week in a game where Stafford should expect to have more time to operate. The Bucs also will be without Pro Bowl defensive back Antoine Winfield Jr. to stop Kupp as Winfield is still out after sustaining a concussion against the Carolina Panthers.
With more time to get open, Kupp should have a bigger day than he did against the stingy Niners defense.
Watch for the injury report over the weekend as Kupp is dealing with an ankle injury but if he is in the lineup he should be good for a 100 yard afternoon to add to this Rams vs Buccaneers Same Game Parlay.

Rams vs Buccaneers Preview
Tampa Bay will be missing tight end Cameron Brate, wide receiver Russell Gage and left guard Luke Goedeke on Sunday. The Bucs will see cornerback Carlton Davis III and defensive lineman Akiem Hicks return from injury as the offense loses bodies while the defensive unit returns a couple of important pieces.
The Rams have never fallen two games below .500 during head coach Sean McVay’s reign. That mark is on the line on Sunday as the Rams would fall to 3-5 with a loss against the Bucs.
Los Angeles has the fewest rushing yards in the league but have a chance to turn things around against a Bucs defense that struggles to stop the run. Tampa Bay’s defense ranks 19th in run DVOA and are amongst the league’s worst teams in stopping the rush.
Tom Brady isn’t accustomed to losing as much as he has in 2022. The quarterback is in the midst of one of the longest losing streaks of his storied career with the Bucs last win coming on October 9.
