Buccaneers vs. Rams: NFL player props for Baker Mayfield, Matthew Stafford for Sunday Night Football Week 12
We take a look at quarterback props for two MVP candidates on Sunday Night Football in Week 12
Two NFC powerhouses meet on Sunday Night Football in Week 12 when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head west to face the Los Angeles Rams. Both teams are headlined by star quarterbacks playing like MVP candidates. Matthew Stafford is now the favorite to win the award while Baker Mayfield has cooled a bit after a strong start but could be getting some key skill players back for this clash. Mayfield has still had a strong season with 17 touchdowns to just three picks and has shown he can deliver signature wins in key spots for the Bucs. Stafford saw his three-game stretch of throwing for four or more touchdowns snapped last week, but he's still been excellent on the year with 27 touchdowns to just two interceptions.
