New Orleans is 22-7 ATS in their last 29 road games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against the NFC. The over is 5-2 in the Saints last 7 games against the NFC. Tampa Bay is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games. The under is 5-1 in the Buccaneers last 6 games against the NFC. The Saints are 6-1 ATS in these two teams last 7 head to head meetings.

Tampa Bay comes into this game looking like one of the best teams in the NFL. New Orleans was on a very rough stretch before being able to get back into the win column against the Jets. The Saints have had a lot of success ATS when playing the Buccaneers, but I don’t think they have the firepower to stay with them here. I am going with Brady and the Bucs.
