Totals: OVER has hit in 3 of last 4 Buccaneers games; Rams games lean OVER when Stafford and Nacua connect.
Final Score Projection: Rams 31, Buccaneers 24
Reasoning: Stafford’s passing attack and the Rams’ defensive front should control the game. Mayfield and Tucker will keep Tampa competitive, but the Rams’ depth and home-field edge tilt the matchup. Expect Los Angeles to cover, with the OVER favored.
