Then Jameis Winston would throw an interception in the end zone on a deep throw to Chris Olave. With the game tied at 3 after a Bucs’ field goal, Mark Ingram would fumble at the Bucs’ 10-yard line when the Saints were driving to take the lead. The second half will see the Saints’ offense make a bevy of mistakes to hand the Bucs the lead. New Orleans led 3-0, having harassed Brady as has been the custom for Dennis Allen defenses the past couple of years. In the first half, the game would see both defenses flex their muscles, as the Saints could only muster a field goal, while Brady and the Bucs were shut out. For the Saints, this was a chance to start 2-0 and assert themselves in the NFC South, while the Bucs could claim the same record and take the division lead with a road-win at the Superdome. Brady and the Bucs are 0-4 against the Saints in the regular season since the former Patriots quarterback became a Buccaneer. The opponents: none other than the Tom Brady-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0), whom the Saints have owned in the regular season since Brady arrived in Tampa. Gambling problem?

Points will be at a premium, and the home-field advantage should help sway the outcome to the Saints’ favor. Saints’ QB Jameis Winston, receivers Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry, and running back Alvin Kamara will pick up where they left off in their comeback win over Atlanta last week. While Tampa Bay’s defense will keep them in it, Tom Brady’s offensive line won’t fare better against New Orleans. But the Saints have been a thorn in their side in recent years. The Buccaneers won an ugly opener in Dallas, relying on their defense until their offense broke through in the end zone during the second half. I think that changes, slightly, as Tampa Bay looks like one of the top teams in the NFC at the moment but New Orleans has enough on both sides of the ball to keep it close enough for a cover. The Saints, oddly enough, have won and covered the last seven regular season games in this rivalry. Eagles Lorenzo Reyes: Buccaneers 27, Saints 26 Sign up here!
