The suprise Rams get a good road test here. I'm looking for the Under 38 instead of a side in this one.

My guesstimate is a 17-13 kinda game. Even a 20-17 game gets the under so that looks better to me than a side here. I'm pulling for the Rams as a small +2.5 dog in this one but just in case... Under is my better play. On Parlays at 5dimes I'll buy it up to under 45 pts on a multi-team parlay card.

    The Rams are playing surprisingly good football so far.With that being said, see here the Bucs taking them to school!

TAMPA BAY   -  2.5

STL +2.5 (3units): the wrong team is favored, i'll side with the better D. Score: Rams 17-Buccaneers 14

Simply put but well enough said.  Rams defense is probably the most underrated in the league.  Bucs defense has some real issues.  There are reasons why its ranked 31st in the league vs. the run and other reasons why their d-line has fewest sacks in the league.  And all those reasons make up for the main part of the reason why they keep dealing with blackouts and too many vacant seats in their stadium.  Bucs have improved but Rams have also and i'll side with the better defense and the slightly better quarterback-Bradford.

Oh- and also:  Jackson is on verge this Sunday of being Rams all-time leading rusher.  Needs to be taken into consideration since he'll be running vs. the league's worst rush defense who pretty much tends to give all quality backs 150 yds on the ground.

RAMS MONEYLINE.

Tampa Bay - 17                            St Louis - 13

Buccaneers -3                    under 38

Tampa has the Rams figured out 6-1 ATS in their last 7.

Buccs rebound off poor offensive showing vs the Saints.

Tampa Bay - Under

love the Rams in this spot, as most of the public still thinks of them of the team of last year. ive seen all but one home game and they play some tough D, most of their offenese are quick wide outs but they still grind the ball down the field running the clock.

hey anygiven sunday but still like the rams.

Rams haven't proved themselves on the road, nuff said as far as I'm concerned !! 

Bucs -3 / under

BOLTA     on the Bucs side .......
