The Los Angeles Rams host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a Week 12 clash. This Rams vs Buccaneers matchup is an exciting clash between NFC West and NFC South, giving us two of the best teams in the conference going against each other. The Rams are 8-2 for the season, beating the Seahawks narrowly with a missed field goal at the end of the game. They are on a 5-game winning streak currently, losing only two games, one on the road and one at home. Matthew Stafford has been playing at an MVP level alongside Puka Nacua, who’s heaving an equally impressive season.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, on the other hand, have been struggling to win as of late and are on a 2-game losing streak. Injuries have hurt their chances, and they are only a game ahead of the Panthers, from losing the first place at NFC South. Losing to the Bills in their last outing, the Buccaneers will try to take on a red hot Rams team, which is going to be extremely difficult.

Analysis and Rationale
In more games than not, Puka Nacua has exploded gathering 87.5 receiving yards, and his connection with his QB Matthew Stafford has only continued to get better. Despite various defenses trying everything they can, teams have simply been unable to stop the QB to WR connection. The Buccaneers allow 228.8 passing yards on average ranking 22nd and Nacua should be able to get over 87.5 yards in this game again.
Baker Mayfield has been highly accurate this season, throwing only three picks so far. However, he’s shown a strange tendency to throw picks against playoff contending teams which includes the Eagles, Lions, and the Bills as of recent. He struggles against good pass defensive teams, and the Rams rank 13th in passing defense. We take this for a risky bet but a very possible one nonetheless.
Mayfield has attempted 30 or more passes in 6 of 10 games so far and has taken matters into his own hand most times to try and get the win. Look for Mayfield to cross the 34.5 passing attempt mark in this game, especially if the Buccaneers fall behind, with Mayfield trying to make plays with his arm.
Rams vs Buccaneers Prediction
The Rams should be able to outclass the Buccaneers, due to their potent passing offense ranking 2nd. The Rams are simply too good on the offensive even, scoring 27.9 points on average. We believe the Buccaneers do not have the answer to this problem as they rank 22nd in passing defense, which leaves room for Rams to exploit.

I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
