The Bucs enter the game as slight favorites, but there’s also good reason to back the Rams covering the spread. If the Rams keep things tight and consistent, they retain solid winning chances. On the other hand, if they let the Bucs control the pace, there’s plenty of pressure on the hosts. Ultimately, this is going to be an exciting game for fans of both teams and bettors.
