New Orleans is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 Monday games. The under is 4-1 in New Orleans’ last 5 games. Tampa Bay is 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 home games and 0-8-1 ATS in their last 9 games on grass. The under is 15-3 in Tampa Bay’s last 18 games against the NFC. The under is 4-1 in these two team's last 5 head-to-head meetings.
New Orleans comes into this game after losing three of their last four games, and wasn’t able to score any points against San Francisco in their last game. Tampa Bay has won two of their last three games, but really should have won their last game against Cleveland. Both of these offenses have struggled, and I like the under here.
