The Week 11 Monday night contest offers what should be a competitive matchup between the 6-3 Los Angeles Rams and the 7-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As always, there will be many chances to play props and win with Monkey Knife Fight.
Strangely enough, the Rams’ real calling card this season has been their defense. They can still move the ball and have a variety of options on offense but they also don’t have the star power on that side of the ball.
Defensively, though, Aaron Donald may be the best defensive lineman in the game and Jalen Ramsey may be the best cover corner, and if he’s not, he is in the conversation. They will make a difference in Monday’s results.

They have won four of their past five games, though that one loss – 38-3 to New Orleans in Week 9 – stands out.
But, with Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Leonard Fournette, and Antonio Brown joining the team, it’s a different look for Tampa Bay and, most of the time, it’s been for the better.

L.A. RAMS-TAMPA BAY
MORE OR LESS
Tom Brady LESS THAN 290.5 PASSING YARDS
The Rams have the best pass defense in football, allowing 199.7 passing yards per game and just 5.2 net yards per pass attempt. While Brady is enjoying a strong season, averaging 273.9 passing yards per game, the Rams have allowed just one quarterback to surpass 290 yards this season, and it was Josh Allen in Week 3 – the only time all season that the Rams allowed more than 270 passing yards in a game.
Jared Goff LESS THAN 270.5 PASSING YARDS
It’s not always easy to trust Goff but he has thrown for more than 270 yards in five of nine games this season, including more than 300 yards in each of the past two games. Tampa Bay’s pass defense is rather formidable in its own right, surrendering 223.7 passing yards per game and 5.8 net yards per pass attempt. They have allowed more than 270 passing yards four times this season.
Ronald Jones MORE THAN 54.5 RUSHING YARDS
Jones brings a risk of uncertainty because he is sharing the carries with Leonard Fournette but Jones has accumulated double-digit carries in seven games this season, running for more than 54 yards in five of them. The Rams are solid against the run, too, but not as dominant as they are against the pass so there may be an opportunity for Jones to get loose.
Chris Godwin LESS THAN 63.5 RECEIVING YARDS
It’s been a tough season for Godwin, averaging 68.7 receiving yards per game this season after putting up 95.2 receiving yards per game last season. Nevertheless, Godwin has exceeded 63 receiving yards in four of six games this year. Thing is, this Rams Defense locks down receivers. While seven wide receivers have put up more than 63 yards against the Rams, they haven’t allowed more than 70 yards to any receivers since Week 3.
Robert Woods MORE THAN 53.5 RECEIVING YARDS
The veteran receiver is not being utilized as often and has been held under 35 receiving yards in three of the past four contests. While the Bucs defense is strong against the pass they have allowed more than 53 receiving yards to 11 different wide receivers this season.
RAPID FIRE
Cooper Kupp +4.5 receiving yards vs. Chris Godwin
Kupp is averaging 64.1 receiving yards per game and Godwin is at 68.7 receiving yards per game. The edge goes to Kupp, then, because the Rams pass defense will make it more challenging for Godwin to reach his average production.
Mike Evans -2.5 receiving yards vs. Antonio Brown
Brown is certainly taking on a significant role in the Tampa Bay passing game, with 10 catches for 100 yards on 13 targets in his first two games, and even though Evans has not been a consistent favorite of Brady – he has had four games with two or fewer receptions – he also has 10 receptions for 141 yards on 17 targets in those same two games.
