NFL Week 7 Preview: St. Louis Rams

St. Louis (3-3) was rolled 44-56 in Week 5 by the Lions but bounced back with a quality 20-17 win over the San Diego Chargers during Week 6 NFL action.

Despite numerous injuries, this Rams team has a lot of fight in them behind rookie QB Sam Bradford and a defense that bends but doesn’t always break.

NFL Week 7 Preview: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

After a surprising 3-1 start, the Buccaneers came back to reality after the Super Bowl Champion Saints walked into the “Big Sombrero” and swashbuckled them 31-6 in Week 6.

We never bought into the “Yuccaneers” 3-1 start as being anything more than smoke and mirrors. The three wins were against teams with a current 3-13 combined record while the two loses came against the Steelers (4-1) and the Saints (4-2).

Buccaneers vs. Rams: NFL Week 7 Game Predictions & Free Picks

This is another game that, at first glance, we wanted to run and hide from. However, after researching it more we think the line is too generous here. We understand the nearly automatic three points for home field advantage but the Buccaneers’ advantage basically stops there.

One trend that you can’t ignore is the Bucs beings 1-9 ATS at home with head coach Raheem Morris at the helm of the pirate ship.

St. Louis has battled and beat better teams than Tampa Bay and, while all three wins came at home, they are over due to bust out on the road. Look for Rams RB Steven Jackson to run wild in this one as St. Louis plays a ball control road game to grind out the victory.

Use your 10% cash back bonus earned by opening your personal online betting account at Sportsbook.com to bet on the Rams scoring a road win by a 17-13 final score that keeps the 37.5 game total UNDER.
