NFL Week 3 Betting: Buccaneers vs. Rams Game Odds and Predictions

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Los Angeles Rams Betting Information

At the beginning of the season, the Rams and Buccaneers were Super Bowl best bets.  And it is quite understandable as to why.  Tampa Bay’s Super Bowl win looked like a portent of things to come. In comparison, the arrival of Matthew Stafford to Los Angeles was seen as a quarterbacking upgrade.  So far, both teams are feeding into those high expectations. The question remains how long each team can maintain board value.  Eventually, too much pubic money is going to flow on the Rams and Bucs.  This week, betting action should split evenly for an honest line.
