6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints

Let’s stick with the Tom Brady theme here and hit another Tampa Bay Buccaneers matchup. While their showdown with the Green Bay Packers is fun, their trip to the Superdome to take on the New Orleans Saints is going to be massive.

We get another matchup of Hall of Fame quarterbacks in this game as Drew Brees takes on Brady in what could be a shootout. These two haven’t met since 2017 when the Patriots topped the Saints, but Brees has a 3-2 head-to-head advantage over Brady.

This game will also be a massive contest in the NFC South, which has gotten a lot tighter with Brady’s arrival. The Saints have lorded over the division for the past two years but the Buccaneers have a solid team that will only get better with the addition of Brady.

Tampa Bay has not made the postseason since 2007 and their most straight-forward path to a return there is by winning the NFC South. That task is easier said than done, making both of their meetings with the Saints incredibly important.

This game has a lot of star power and could well be a playoff preview if both teams make it to January. That alone makes it a lot of fun and why all NFL fans should be glued to the screen when Brady and Brees face off.
