Preview

Tampa Bay bounced back from their 38-3 thumping by New Orleans in style, beating Carolina 46-23 last week, but they could be in for a tougher night against the LA Rams.

Tom Brady's new team headed into Week 11 with a 7-3 record and as fourth favourites for the Super Bowl, but their two defeats against the Saints have left them little room for manoeuvre in the NFC South title battle and this game could also be crucial in terms of playoff seeding tiebreakers.

That Tampa Bay improved their points total by 43 points in a week suggests that one of those displays was not a true reflection of their performance and the Rams defence, led by Aaron Donald, are sure to give them a thorough test.

Sean McVay's side have limited their opponents to 18.7 points per game and they should be in good spirits after restricting the dangerous Seattle offence to 16 points last week.

The Rams have put themselves right in the hunt in the NFC West, the most competitive division in the league this season, and they look worth backing with a decent start.

Key stats

• The Rams have covered the handicap in six of their last seven games against Tampa Bay.
• The points total has gone under on five of the Rams' last six visits to Tampa Bay.
• The Rams have won five of their last six games against Tampa Bay.
