The Bucs have been competitive in the past, playing in New Orleans. The Saints are coming off a short week after beating their arch rivals, the "Dirty Birds", and gaining a playoff spot. While it could be argued that the Saints might win the division, with a win and a Falcon loss. It's also a very unlikely scenario. With an shot at a wildcard themselves, I expect the Bucs to cover & win in this spot. Once the Bucs start to assert themselves in their quest, I can  see the Saints pulling their starters, in preparation for wildcard game next week.

TAMPA BAY  + 8.5

AGREED!

Agreed. I like the 2H over/under on GB/CHI & NYG/WASH depending on the halftime scores... this game... it's hard to tell. I might look at the 2H over/under on this game depending on how bad ATL is crushing CAR by then.

Tampa +15.5 on a 7 point tease.

GLTA

Flag the hot blonde chick for saluting after her score......

the Bucs are my home team , but Brees is a Hall of fame QB

Saints will find a way to get em at the end.

saints -7 , buy down the line .5 point to win on the TD.

(def. battle Under 46)

New Orleans-7.5
