Huge Bucs fan here, hope you're right but I am a bit worried about this game.
Bucs coming off another road game on Monday night and are pretty banged up coming into this one. Baker will play but he's clearly not 100 per cent. Egbuka will play but he is far from 100 per cent. And of course we don't have Bucky again. Baker had to really air it out on Monday and the O-line got obliterated as Hutchinson and Detroit pinned their ears back. I expect the Bucs to lean heavily on White and Tucker in the running game, so it doesn't figure to be a high-scoring game considering all of Rattler's struggles on the other side.
Along with all the other injury issues, Vita Vea is now questionable to play after missing practice. The Bucs haven't generated a consistent pass rush without blitzing, and now they may have a massive loss in trying to stop the Saints running game.
The Saints are not good by any stretch, but ALWAYS get up for the Bucs. It's a very bitter rivalry between these divisional foes. Saints were down to the bare bones and threw a scare into us in the regular season finale last year, a game the Bucs had to win to make the playoffs. This will not be easy.
I think the Bucs get this one done but I expect a bumpy ride in the Superdome. They mercifully get a bye week after this game and it feels like another game that goes down to the wire and the Bucs do just enough to pull out a one-score win. They just don't blow anyone out - including the Jets!
Best of luck on your pick and I sure hope it comes through ... for both of us.

Alot of great points there. I felt alot better about this earlier in the week. Saints also lost their starting center as well as their backup running back who was essentially splitting the load with kamara so will be interesting to see how that effects them. Will be tight but if tbay defense plays the way it did in 2nd half vs lions it should get it done.
Success is never final, failure is never fatal, and it's the courage that counts.

Good luck. I do like SF contrary to what many others think. Teasing it even better I don't think the Texans will have much success downfield missing Collins.
