NFL Predictions: New Orleans Saints vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL Odds Week 11: The NFC South leading (9-0) New Orleans Saints [-10½] look to take their NFL Predictions perfect run to double-digits as they travel to Florida’s west coast to take on divisional rival and the sports betting odds underdog (1-8) Tampa Bay Buccaneers [+10½] on Sunday.

This NFL Predictions game has a scheduled opening kickoff slated for 1:05 PM ET (10:05 AM PT) and you can catch all the NFC South action live in HD on FOX. According to NFL Predictions experts and NFL Odds makers at NFL Predictions: New Orleans Saints vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL Odds Week 11SBGglobal.com, the OVER/UNDER for this New Orleans Saints vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Week 11 game has been calculated and settled at a combined total of 50½ points scored.

For the visiting Saints, sure they’re still perfect this season, but that doesn’t mean they’ve played anywhere close to it, especially of late. "We're not content with where we're at, and we're certainly not content with the way we've played these last few weeks," quarterback Drew Brees stated. "We need to close the game out when we're given the opportunity."

Tag along injuries to key players, and you’ve got yourself anything but a sure win for one of the two remaining unbeaten teams. New Orleans coach Sean Payton will be without the services of anywhere from one to three defensive starters today: (DT) Sedrick Ellis (knee injury), (CBs) Jabari Greer (groin) Tracy Porter (left knee). The last 2 are listed as questionable against the Bucs. Running back Reggie Bush will also be M.I.A for this one, as he didn’t even make the trip with the team.

Speaking of injuries, free safety Darren Sharper may return to the field after missing last week’s game at St. Louis, where the Saints won a surprisingly close contest. "I was proud we responded with both corners being out for a good portion of that game,” coach Payton said. “Obviously our defensive tackle, Darren Sharper, our safety, we overcame some things against a team that was coming off a bye and a win… we can play better football, yet I think the team we played is getting better."

For the hosting Buccaneers, their year has been such a disappointment that ending Brees’ perfect bid at Raymond James Stadium would add some meaning to their already lost season. Last week in Miami, the road Bucs came so close from pulling off an upset against their interstate rivals.

First-year quarterback Josh Freeman was in the middle of last week's effort, as he finished 16-for-26 for 196 yards, as Tampa Bay fell in a close one, 25-23. "When you see Josh go out and have two comebacks like he did, that's a lift," head coach Raheem Morris said. "You see the defense starting to get better … You do feel this team starting to get stronger."
