Buccaneers vs Saints Prediction
Tampa Bay has had a very solid offensive attack for most of this season, but they only managed nine points against Detroit last week. The Buccaneers are 5-2 on the year, but they have quite a few key injuries right now. New Orleans only has one victory so far and they have allowed 25+ points in four of their last five games. I do think the Tampa Bay injuries are going to catch up to them, but they should be fine against this bad NO offense.
