Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (6) warms up before a game against the New England Patriots at Raymond James Stadium.

The NFC playoff race comes into focus as the Sunday slate of Week 12 wraps up.

Matthew Stafford's Los Angeles Rams welcome Baker Mayfield's Tampa Bay Buccaneers into SoFi Stadium for a "Sunday Night Football" clash between two teams headed in opposite directions. The Rams are coming off a key win over the rival Seattle Seahawks, moving into a tie for the NFC's top seed.

The same can't be said for the visiting Bucs, who have dropped two straight and three of the last four. Injuries have been a major storyline for Tampa all season, having lost Bucky Irving, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and more for extended periods of time.

They'll look to get healthier in time for the postseason, but they have to get there first – especially as the Carolina Panthers make a playoff push of their own.

Neither team has much room for error as we head into the final stretch of the regular season. The Rams are trying to distance themselves in the loaded NFC West. The Bucs are simply trying to survive in a division they've owned for years.

A potential rematch could be on the horizon in just a few months, but someone will land the first punch on Sunday night in Hollywood.

Rams vs. Buccaneers prediction

There is plenty of talent on this Bucs roster and certainly enough talent to be a serious Super Bowl contender. Unfortunately for Tampa, most of that game-changing talent happens to be injured. The Rams have won five straight since their Thursday night clunker against the 49ers in Week 5.

Sean McVay's team looked like a Super Bowl contender in 2024, but fell short. They look like a group that wants to leave no doubt in 2025. The Rams have the coaching edge and the roster edge on Sunday night. They continue their winning ways, while the Bucs continue to hope their stars heal sometime soon. Rams 31-23.
