There has been no tougher schedule in the NFL than what the Buccaneers have faced since week 4 and it doesn't get any easier this week before a softer run home. Matthew Stafford has a league leading 27 touchdown passes this season and will be out to exploit the Buccaneers defence, who give up the sixth-most passing yards of any team in the NFL.

With both Puca Nacua and Davante Adams in form and tight-end heavy offensive rotation that creates space for their receivers, Sean McVay will have plenty of schemes to move the ball aggressively downfield through the air. Expect Stafford to light it up after a season-low 130 yards passing last weekend and go over his total of 256.5 yards this week against the Bucs.

On a tough night for his quarterback Puca Nacua still managed 75 yards in receiving, so in what is expected to be a more pass heavy performance from the Rams expect Nacua to go large and hit the over 87.5 receiving mark and lock him in as a TD scorer.

L.A have won by a 7+ points in 6 of their 8 victories this season.
Matt Stafford averages 255.7 passing yards per game this season
Puka Nacua ranks second in the NFL with an average of 94.4 receiving yards per game.
Matt Stafford leads the league with 27 touchdown passes.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Form

All of a sudden the Buccaneers have got to start looking over their shoulder in the NFC South with the Panthers also on six wins after Tampa dropped 3 of their last 4 games. The Bucs three losses have been all to Super Bowl contenders, the Lions, Bills and Patriots and their schedule does get lighter, however their two matches against Carolina will be the deciding factor of which team from the South makes the playoffs.

Tampa haven’t been playing poorly, Baker Mayfield and the offence are still cooking but their schedule has been brutal. The defence has been having a tough time, giving up 25 points per game (21st in NFL) and the biggest concern heading into this contest is that they rank 27th in the league in opposition passing yards (241.6yds/g).

Los Angeles Rams Form

The Rams have taken control of the highly contested NFC West after their grinding 21-19 victory over the Seattle Seahawks last weekend.

Matt Stafford is having an MVP calibre season and had thrown 13 touchdowns in the three games prior to meeting their divisional rival, however it was the defence of the Rams that showed up in a big way and got them the win, picking off Sam Darnold 4 times in the match to keep the game in their favour as the Seahawks defence held Stafford to just 130 yards passing.

The win and the performance by the defence makes things clear that the L.A Rams are a clear Super Bowl favourite heading into the final third of the season. Their defence can turn it on and their offence is high powered.
