New Orleans Saints vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL Predictions: The Saints (6-5) are on a two game winning streak after a win on Monday Night football over Green Bay 51-29 at home. QB Drew Brees was 20/26 for 323 yards and 4 TD's. The Saints spent 43 days away from the Louisiana Superdome for a trip to London, a bye and three road games, then returned to New Orleans and put on one of the more memorable performances in franchise history. Drew Brees has been on fire, but how will he handle the defensive on Tampa this week? The sports odds posted by the oddsmakers at Sbgglobal.com currently list Tampa Bay Buccaneers -4 favorites to New Orleans Saints heading into this matchup.
"We're kind of in the middle of pack, just like a lot of other teams," Brees continued. "This is the time where a few of those teams start to separate themselves and we want to be one of those teams."
The Buccaneers (8-3) are on a three game winning streak after a win last week over Detroit 38-20. QB Jeff Garcia was 13/18 for 165 yards and 2 TD's. Warrick Dunn rushed for 90 yards and 1 TD. Tampa Bay fell behind the winless Detroit Lions by 17 points, then scored five unanswered touchdowns en route to a 38-20 victory. The Bucs have impressed with the ability to rally back from deficits but it is a dangerous line to walk. The online sports betting odds at Sbgglobal.com has the OVER/UNDER in this New Orleans Saints vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers game is set at 47.5 points.
NFL Predictions: The Saints may finally get RB Bush back but the Bucs are excellent against the pass. Bush is the fastest man between these two teams, he loves playing the Bucs. He came out and said he would be back just for this game. GB's CBs specialize in man to man, that is what they do best, what I can guess is that they had to resort to zone as Saints receivers are fast. Unlike Packers, Bucs CBs specialize in press coverage and zone, they have the right personnel to do it. The Saints are 1-4 ATS in officially designated road contests this season. Buccaneers are 5-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Over is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings. Underdog is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 meetings.
