TAMPA, Fla. -- It's difficult to forget the fact that the St. Louis Rams had seven sacks in a victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season. The Bucs overhauled their offensive line in the offseason, but it still is very much a work in progress, so Josh McCown should be under plenty of pressure.
But I think the Bucs will show a much more balanced offense than they did last week against the Carolina Panthers. I think Tampa Bay will get Doug Martin and the running game going and that will open things up for the passing game. Last year didn't go well for the Bucs against the Rams. But reach a little further back into history and you can find a positive stat for Tampa Bay, which has won six of its last nine meetings against the Rams.
Prediction: Buccaneers 16, Rams 10.
