The New Orleans Saints will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday afternoon. Here is how to watch this NFC South rivalry game online.
Week 16 will have a full slate of 16 NFL games. Because Christmas Day falls on a Sunday, the bulk of the Week 16 slate will be played on Christmas Eve, Saturday, Dec. 24. One of the better games on Saturday has to be a meaningful NFC rivalry game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-6) and the New Orleans Saints (6-8).
Kickoff from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Saturday afternoon will be at 4:25 p.m. ET. FOX will have the late afternoon telecast. The available live stream can be found on FOX Sports Go.
Tampa Bay enters play at 8-6 on the season and a game back of the Atlanta Falcons (9-5) in the NFC South standings. While the Buccaneers lost on Sunday Night Football to the Dallas Cowboys (12-2) in Week 15, Tampa Bay is still in possession of the No. 6 seed in the NFC playoff picture.
New Orleans enters play at 6-8 on the season and still somehow alive in the NFC Playoffs race. The Saints will need like an eight-game parlay to get into the NFC Playoffs as the No. 6 seed. Their only shot at getting in is a big win at home versus the Gulf Coast rival Buccaneers.

This is a stay-away game from a betting perspective. New Orleans gets the three-point nod because the Saints are the home team. With both teams in dire need of a Week 16 win, this could go either way. Expect this one to be decided on the final possession.
