GL.

Brees may not have the arm he once had but he's been accurate completing 70 percent of his passes. The Bucs pass defense allowed opposing QBs to complete 69 percent of their passes, 3rd worst in the league. In fact Brees was 26 for 32 in the blowout win over TB with 4 TDs and all were inside the red zone. Accuracy is far more important than arm strength.

OL Aaron Stinnie is making his first start but he has played in 6 games this season including 25 snaps vs Det. Still a big advantage for the stout Saints DL.

JPP is battling a knee injury and does not look like the healthy pass rusher he has been. Definitely not 100 percent. Shaq Barrett had a huge drop-off in production this season, 8 sacks, vs last season when he was all world, 19.5 sacks. Devin White returns this week though and the Bucs will need a big game from this up and coming star. He's a beast.

Ryan Succop missed 6 XPs this season including one last week, as predicted, and unacceptable for an NFL kicker IMO. Lutz missed only one, though he did miss 5 FGs, Succop missed 3. 

Truth is I probably won't bet this game, as a resident of Tampa Bay, I want the Bucs here in a couple of weeks. But I do think top to bottom, the Saints are better. 

Best of luck to all that do!

Solid information! 

Thanks for sharing. I have great respect for you as I’ve followed for years. Great capper!

Best of luck this weekend and thanks again for the input.

The spread is EXACTLY where it should be. Just cause they slaughtered them? The line stays the same. Why? Cause it’s 3rd time and DIV game. Not to mention 2017/18 when saints played Panthers 3 times and won all 3? Spread was 6.5-7 all 3 games...

Last week doesn't count huh?

let's go Saints!

I initially thought Bucs would get their revenge in the postseason, but now have a feeling the Saints will prevail. Brees gets his 3rd win in the same season vs the GOAT and moves on to play the Packers at Lambeau. I'm backing the Saints on Sunday but contemplating the -3 or do ML. When it's 3 or less I tend to rather play the ML in case of a push or a 1 or 2 point win. Either way, still like the Saints to advance!

Will the Bucs score 25 points or more? If you're backing TB you better hope they do. When scoring 24 points or less, Tampa went 0-5 S/U and 1-4 ATS. The Saints surrendered 21 ppg, 310 ypg- 4th best in the league. The Bucs have offensive firepower, we all know that, but 25 vs the Saints defense could be a big ask. 

I use numbers most times they spot on and like anything ealse can be wrong but more right then not. They say. Tb 28 saints 26  I bet tb +3 and getting an extra 2 by the numbers tb +5 good luck  as long as no major injures on tb team
