nfl-odds-picks-rams-vs-buccaneers-betting-spread-monday-night-football-2020It was a gorgeous night for Football at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay where the 6-3 Los Angeles Rams paid a visit to the 7-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.

Both teams to this point in the season had suffered through the lagging process of finding their identity. The Rams have boasted a top defence in league led by stars Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey, while the Bucs have been working to get better as the games go on, attempting to further mesh together as a brand new offence this season.

The game was back and forth for the first 30 minutes, both teams leading opening drives for touchdowns, and the respective Quarterbacks felt like they had a grip of what the game would be like. Jared Goff of the Rams was letting it fly all night long as LA couldn’t find a productive way to run the ball, and the same could be said for the Buccaneers.

The Rams have been building their reputation as a run-first offence, but pass catchers Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods stuffed the stat sheet on Monday night, reminding everyone just how good a wide receiver tandem they are. Kupp caught 11 passes for 145 yards, while Woods hauled in 12 passes for 130 yards with a touchdown.

As for the Rams passing game, it looked like it was efficient at some points, while at other being lost and uncoordinated.

Brady threw another two interceptions, both of which to Rams Rookie Jordan Fuller. the Rams grabbed Fuller at the same draft slot (199 overall) as the Patriots took Brady 20 years ago, and on Monday night, their two paths crossed.

Fuller picked off Brady twice for the first two interceptions of his career. There may not be a better quarterback to have your first career interception come against, and Fuller is certainly thrilled to have done it twice.

As the second half slowed down from a scoring perspective, the two teams elite defences found themselves, and it came down to a final drive field goal from LA, and a final drive interception from Brady, to seal the win for the Rams, 27-24.
