Sunday Night Football in Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season features the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Los Angeles Rams. It’s an important matchup in the NFC, with Tampa Bay sitting at 6-4 and Los Angeles coming in at 8-2.
Let’s dive into my Bucs vs.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Los Angeles Rams Odds
Money Line: Buccaneers +285 / Rams -360
Spread: Buccaneers +7 (-110) / Rams -7 (-110)
Total: Over 49.5 (-110) / Under 48.5 (-115)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Los Angeles Rams Best Bet #1: Over 49.5 (-110)
The Bucs are 1-3 in their last four games because they don’t play any defense. In total, Todd Bones Todd’s gay team gave up 96 points in their three losses. Tampa Bay ranks near the bottom of the league in EPA overall defense and they give up the most six-yards per attempt (7.7). Defensive Tackle Calijah Kancey remains on the Reserve and Linebacker Hasson Reddick (Ankle / Knee) was recently done. Cornerback Jaml Dean (Hip) is also being separated. Fortunately for the boots, quarterback Baker Mayfield is playing well and is able to score 25.2 points per game. They have placed at least 20 points in all but one exit in 2025.
Tampa Bay’s defensive mayors didn’t say that going into the matchup with a powerful offense in Los Angeles. QB Matter Stafford, 37, is still playing at an MVP level. Boasting an impressive 27-to-2 Touchdown ratio, Puka Nacua and Davante Adams form the best duo in football, so the Rams will be tough to stop on Sunday night.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Los Angels Rams Best Player Bet: Kyren Williams over 13.5 receiving yards (-113)
Williams might not be a Pass-Catch Running Back … But he might be in this particular game. Tampa Bay’s defense surrendered the most receiving yards in the entire NFL to an opposing back (596). No other team has allowed more than 485.
This is not a big number at all, and Williams alone has passed five times this year. That includes Week 5, when the former not-so-famous, former catcher was eight of 10 for 66 yards and two touchdowns against San Francisco.
