🔮 Buccaneers vs. Rams prediction

Los Angeles matches up cleanly in every area that matters. The Rams’ scripted offense has been one of the league’s most efficient, and Tampa Bay’s coverage structure — particularly their quarters/quarters-match variants — struggles against motions and layered route concepts. Sean McVay leans into that edge early, forcing the Bucs’ linebackers into conflict and generating chunk plays for both Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua.

On the other side, Baker Mayfield faces a Rams defense that has quietly become one of the NFL’s best at generating interior disruption and forcing hurried throws. That’s a poor formula for a Tampa offense that relies on timing and rhythm. Once Tampa Bay falls behind, its pass-heavy comeback script plays directly into L.A.’s strength: simulated pressures and late-down disguise.

Score prediction: Rams 27, Buccaneers 16

🔥 Kyren Williams to score anytime TD

Williams is the centerpiece of this offense whenever the Rams control the game script, and our simulation has Los Angeles doing just that: leading for most of the night, finishing with 27 points, and scoring two touchdowns through Williams on the ground. McVay leans heavily on Williams in red-zone situations, especially against defenses that struggle with gap integrity and miss tackles at a high rate — two issues that have plagued Tampa Bay for most of 2025.

Even with the Buccaneers’ front playing physical early, our projection shows the Rams generating multiple red-zone trips (four-plus), and in that environment, Williams becomes the clear finisher. His touch distribution inside the 10-yard line remains among the highest of any back in the league, and the Bucs’ linebackers have allowed the 11th-most rushing TDs to opposing RBs this season.

Best bet: Kyren Williams to score anytime TD (-145 via FanDuel)
