Rams Look to End Road Woes in Clash with Reeling Buccaneers
The Los Angeles Rams aim for just their second straight up win in their past eight road contests when they visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday in an NFL Week 2 betting matchup at Raymond James Stadium. The Rams made their triumphant return to Los Angeles last weekend, handing Seattle a 9-3 loss, while the Buccaneers are coming off a 40-7 beating in Arizona.
The Rams put on an undisciplined performance two weeks ago in a 28-0 loss to San Francisco as 2.5-point road chalk, but allayed concerns with an impressive defensive effort against Seattle. The Seahawks penetrated the Rams red zone just once all afternoon, as Los Angeles improved to 4-2 SU and against the spread in their past six.
However, the Rams have been dismal on the road, going 5-15 SU, 6-13-1 ATS, over their past 20, and have scored more than 18 points just twice in their past 10 road dates, forcing the point total UNDER on nine occasions.
Tampa Bay impressed in a 31-24 Week 1 win in Atlanta, covering as a 2.5-point underdog, but was embarrassed last week by the Cardinals, who intercepted pivot Jameis Winston four times. The Buccaneers are now just 2-6 SU and ATS in their past eight, and have lost four straight SU, and five straight ATS to the Rams.
