Saints Short Passing Game Is Key
Vegas Odds Tampa Bay Buccaneers Make Playoffs
New Orleans played a solid Chicago defense on Sunday, and they used a lot of short to intermediate passes to neutralize the Bears pass rush. Drew Brees completed over 75% of his passes for the 4th time in the last five games, going 31/41 for 280 yards and 2 TD, and was only sacked once by Chicago. The game plan should stay the same against Tampa Bay’s #2 ranked defense in sacks/game (2.9).
The win over the Bears was the fourth in a row for Sean Payton’s team, but each of them have been by less than one score. Those include a 35-29 win in Detroit, 30-27 vs. the Chargers, 27-24 vs. Carolina, and last week’s 26-23 OT win at Chicago. New Orleans was favored in all those games though, and they’ll be an underdog for the first time this season at Tampa Bay.
For as much pressure as the Saints offense can put on a team, New Orleans’ defense has their work cut out for them against Tampa Bay’s top 10 passing attack. The Saints’ win streak has come against Nick Foles, Teddy Bridgewater, rookie Justin Herbert, and Matthew Stafford – all good, but not great quarterbacks who have tossed 11 TD to 2 INTs over that span.
Tampa Bay Finding a Way
The Buccaneers might have been guilty of looking ahead to Sunday night’s game with New Orleans when they struggled to a 25-23 win against the 1-7 Giants on Monday night. The Bucs are back home though, where they are 3-0 on the season and have scored at least 31 points each game.
The last time Tampa Bay played at Raymond James Stadium was a 38-10 beatdown of then-undefeated Green Bay. The Buccaneers defense forced the first two INTs of the season for Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, and Tampa Bay used 166 yards on the ground to get the win as +3 point home underdogs.
The Buccaneers defense has been great this year, ranking #3 in total yards allowed / game and #1 against the run (70.4). As much as Sunday night’s game has the potential to be an offensive showdown, stats were at a premium when the teams met up in the season opener, a 34-23 Saints home win. Tom Brady threw for 239 yards in that game, but also had two INTs. Brees was held to just 160 yards passing by the Tampa Bay defense in week one.
Our Pick:
It’s hard to go against the Saints riding a 4-game win streak, especially with a point spread that seems a bit high at +4.5. New Orleans already has a win over Tampa Bay on the year, and the Buccaneers are playing on a short week after Monday night’s game.

Had the Saints not found some interesting ways to get eliminated from the 2017 and 2018 playoffs, we could have had a Brady/Brees matchup then for all the marbles.
Vegas Odds Tampa Bay Buccaneers Vs Saints
Both quarterbacks are in their early 40's now which is still remarkable, and a Super Bowl title might not be on the line, but if the rumors end up being true, the length of Drew Brees' career is. Interesting backdrop to the Saints trying to pull off the three-game season sweep of Tampa Bay at the same time.
The Bucs weren't shy about spending the money to win in a very brief window these next couple of years, and it's no guarantee they ever get closer than this. Their clunker football game of the year just so happened to come against this Saints team on SNF, and the first loss was Tom Brady's first game in a Bucs uniform. Off no training camp etc etc..
It is hard to forget the domination Tampa was on the wrong end of in a 38-3 Sunday Night Football win by the Saints though.
However, even with Tampa's only two losses in their eight games since then came by three points against the Rams and Chiefs; two teams still playing football this weekend as well.

Over vs. Under
Handicapping the Total
The two meetings during the year split on the total (1-1 O/U), but the Saints did put up 30 or more on both occasions.
Tampa has scored 30 or more in five of their eight games since that 38-3 debacle, and come into this one riding four straight in that regard.
Brady really appears to have found his stride with this offense, but with the Bucs defense giving up at least 23 points in six of those eight games as well, Tampa's needed every single one of those points to get to this point.
This game kind of brings the feel that points will be traded frequently between these two guys, as both try to make one more late career run at a ring.
The Saints scoring 30+ in both meetings against Tampa is more commonplace than a simple head-to-head edge somewhere if most of the league is scoring in the mid-20's just for showing up. Brees should be able to get to that number with some comfort you would think.
We've already seen a market move upwards on this total and win or lose that's probably the best way to look at.
Being on the side of expecting these two QB's to do something positive comes up in a lot of likely outcomes here, as the winner probably needs at least 30 again.
Eight of the last nine games between these two franchises have seen the winner score 30 or more, as the 'over' has connected in six of those games.

Buccaneers vs. Saints
Handicapping the Side
A matchup of two great QB's like this was always going to see early movement for the underdog, and at -3, the number is probably right where it should be. We've seen some questionable efforts from both guys at times this year – Brees needed OT to beat the Chargers and Bears in the regular season, while losing to the Raiders and Eagles.
Brady's rougher outings were much earlier in the year, and him catching points in the playoffs is never going to be the worst betting option to be on.
In nine situations with the Patriots, Brady went 6-3 both SU and ATS and that includes a pair of wins in the Super Bowl.
Make a note that two of the losses came at Denver, which is never an easy place to visit in January. Not surprisingly, the offense was held to 16 and 13 points.
In the other setback, Peyton Manning and the Colts rallied past Brady and company for a 38-34 shootout win in the AFC Championship. That game was played indoors at the old RCA Dome in Indy so maybe I'm onto something with upward lean on Sunday.

- 2015 - Patriots (+1) 28 vs. Seahawks 24, Over 47.5 (SB 49)

- 2002 - Patriots (+14) 20 vs. Rams 17, Under 53
- 2002 - Patriots (+8) 24 at Steelers 17, Over 36 (SB 36)
We can't forget about the way the Saints have fallen in recent postseasons either. They did cover the healthy number (-11) versus the Bears last week but New Orleans was on a 0-4 ATS run in the playoffs prior to that win and they dropped two of those games outright to the Vikings (26-20) and Rams (26-23) each of the last two playoffs.
If you make any sort of mistakes against a Brady-led team and history suggests you're going to end up on the wrong end of that result.
But New Orleans has also shown they've got something working against this Bucs offense, picking off Brady five times in those two wins, nearly half of his 12 total INT's thrown this year.
Hard not to have plenty of confidence being 2-0 SU and ATS against Tampa this season too, and having Brees at home to win by a FG is never the worst betting option either.
Fair number and one that's not one that really warrants a strong opinion on either side in my view. There are strong cases to be made for both sides, and with what's on the line for the career arcs of the two QB's, cracking a cold one and enjoying what should be a good game is my way of approaching the side.
But there have been too many years recently where all the Super Bowl props pieces have included Tom Brady.
I enjoyed the change last year and hope it continues.
