The set-up: This total hasn't deviated much since it opened. The Bucs and Rams each possess above-average defensive units and I believe that they'll be the main storyline in tomorrow's summaries. The Rams came out of their bye-week last week to beat the Seahawks 23-16. Jared Goff had over 300 yards passing for a second straight game, but it was LA's smothering defensive play which "stole the show," posting six sacks and two interceptions. Bucs' QB Tom Brady has already struggled this year against strong pass-rushing defenses so the veteran is likely to have his hands full tonight.

The picks: The Bucs haven't had their bye-week yet and head coach Bruce Arians has already admitted that his team is "tired." Tampa's defense catches a break though facing a Rams' offense which would not be classified as "explosive" (note as well that Tampa has seen the total go "under" the number in eight of its last 11 after scoring 45 points or more in a 20 points or greater victory in its last outing.) Consider the under in MNF.
