Rams vs. Buccaneers predictions, picks for NFL Week 12
Rams 31, Buccaneers 23: The Rams have looked like the best team in the NFL in recent weeks, beating four opponents in a row by double digits before sneaking past the talented Seahawks, 21-19, in Week 11. They’re a complete team with an outstanding quarterback who’s leading the MVP race and a defense that ranks second in points allowed.
Not many teams are as well-rounded as the Rams, and the Bucs certainly aren’t with all their injuries on offense and deficiencies on defense. Los Angeles will take advantage of catching the Bucs on a downward trajectory and win at home to improve to 9-2.
It’s an opportunity for the Rams to show everyone just how good they are in a prime-time setting against one of the NFC’s top teams.
