Saints vs. Buccaneers Odds
Game Preview
The Saints lost last weekend to the Miami Dolphins, 21-17, once again showing that they don’t have the capacity to play football at a competitive level. Their O-Line collapsed, allowing 4 sacks on Tyler Shough and 8 QB hits.
New Orleans’ offense is one of the worst in the NFL, producing only 15.2 points per game, while on the other hand, the defense isn’t that bad, with 24.6 points allowed. Though not having a decent QB is something that kills their game.
The Buccaneers now have Carolina as the contenders for the division title, and that’s why Mayfield and the boys need to win this one. A 20-17 win over the Cardinals was their first after 3 successive defeats.
It was a hard-fought win for the Bucs, whose defense showed numerous weaknesses over the past three games, allowing 106 points. That’s why many doubt their prospects to keep the top spot in the NFC South. By the way, the Cards had 386 yards from scrimmage, with the Bucs’ defense again being mediocre. However, the hosts had no turnovers, while Arizona had two.
Saints vs. Buccaneers Head to Head
There was already one game this season between the two NFC South rivals. Tampa Bay wiped the rivals 23-3 on the road. They have 6 wins in the last 7 contests.
Saints vs. Buccaneers Predictions
Even though the Buccaneers struggle, they are still much better than the Saints, whose game is far below any decent NFL level. We see some glimpse of talent on defense, but the offense is appaling. Due to all this, the Buccaneers will win this event and cover an 8.5-point spread.
