NFL Week 6 Predictions on the New Orleans Saints vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds: The Super Bowl champions will seek to avoid getting hit on consecutive weeks when they visit Tampa Bay to play against the Buccaneers on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium at 1 PM ET. The Saints vs. Buccaneers NFL Point Spread have the Saints -4.5 at SPORTSBOOK.com
Last week the Saints were shocked by the Cardinals at Arizona 30-20 in a game where their own mistakes cost them the victory. Super Bowl MVP QB Drew Brees threw for two interceptions in that game, one of them ended up in a touchdown, the problem for Brees is that with all the injuries they have no running game (31 st in the league averaging 75.8 yards a game) and that´s clearly affecting their passing game. During the week the Saints signed RB Julius Jones from Seattle trying to look for a spark in that department.
On defense New Orleans used to fed off turnovers but that happened mostly because they were up in the scoreboard almost every time, now that they need to make plays when the game is close is not happening for them anymore. The Saints turnover differential is -1 when last year at this point was +9. "There's an expectation level that we get accustomed to when we perform at a high level," coach Sean Payton said. "When you don't meet those expectations, certainly there's disappointment."
At home Tampa Bay will try to take advantage of all those problems their division rivals are suffering, it´s obvious the Bucs are having issues running ball but they have looked pretty good throwing it with the second year QB Josh Freeman. He has throw for 824 yards and five touchdowns with just three interceptions, something that to me is remarkable considering he had a thumb injury before the season started. Keep in mind New Orleans is 7-0 ATS off road loss and Tampa Bay is 0-6 ATS as home dog of 7 pts or less.
