I like the over so I will tease it down with something else. Neither team has a pass defense so this should be a high scorng affair.

         Hello everyone. I like the Bucaneers here in a game they must win to make the Playoffs as the Saints got blown out last week against the Giants and are out of the playoffs. With the suspensions being reinforced I don't believe it will be an easy game for the Saints to win and the you can bet the Over all day on this game. I'm 10-3 in my last 13 betting games, so what do I know? Happy Holidays to everyone!

Over...

After regrouping from a terrible start, the Saints fought back to 5-5. Since then ,they have been 0-3 and their defense has looked terrible. The lack of any defense productivity by NO, has put even more pressure on their offense, and even that unit has been faltering as of late. Tampa Bay has been on & off all year, but this game sets up well for them.My predicted score has TB winning in a slight upset.  TB  34-28.

TAMPA  BAY   + 3.5

I hate when people start their arguement with so & so needs a win or they won't make the playoffs or a bowl or have a chance to win their division/conference etc.... Many teams need to win but end up losing. I believe the game will be very enjoyable just like the last one but I will bet on Drew Brees to win it. Saints -3.5 & of course the over. I am actually surprised the over isn't a few points higher

Saints at home against the worst pass defense in the NFL and only -3.5? This seems like a gift. I'm looking for a bounce back game for Brees. This game went well over last time and I see the same happening this week, too. 

Saints -3.5.   Now that they are officially done in the playoff race and another year passes with the super bowl city not representing its team, I think the saints win 41-24? Tampas pct of making the playoffs is under 1%. They're done

I don't know, Vue, Tampa's ranked #32 out of 32 teams (Dead F***'in Last) in passing defense? Below everybody...... Pick a team, they're ranked below that and have they done anything to improve that?????............. What's the one thing Brees & Company does??? Can you say bloodbath????? You think if this turns into a shootout Tampa wins????  I don't think this game will even be close, but good luck to you buddy, anyways.................... 

Terrible Tampa pass d will allow saints to throw bombs. Tampa stops run well but saints cant run to the bathroom. Even though their season is done, brees is a competitor. Any team that lost to philly recently (philly joins the ariz superstar cardinals as being teams as how in the sh%%#t did they do that...beating the giants and patriots ) scares me badly. Bucs had a midseason hot streak albeit against bums but unfortunately they peaked too soon.    Saints and OV for the LArge!!!!

How many times I gotta tell ya'll...No matter how bad a team needs a win or this or that. If you playing against Drew Brees in the Superdome, who cares about defense. He will outscore you, point blank period.

The key in this game that everyone is forgetting is Doug Martin facing the worst rush D in the NFL.  Tampa +3.5 and the over.

OVER 54 

Tampa Bay

YTD: 80-58-1 (58%)

No pass defense for the Buc's, no defense at all for the Saints, OVER seems to be as safe as it gets!  

Tampa TTotal over 24 is the play here. Saints give up almost 30 and Bucs must win and will keep firing to the end. Saints will get theirs too but 55 is little too high for me and Bucs have something to play for so I think that's the best bet for this one.

If TB runs runs runs then the clock keeps on rollin..unders in the dome? Is it possible?
