3. Saints defense surrenders 400 passing yards to Tom Brady

The Saints defense will have a tough day at the office, so to speak. They have to face off against the Buccaneers’ loaded offense, specifically through the air.

Quarterback Tom Brady is having a phenomenal season at the age of 44. It certainly helps to have probably the best group of pass-catchers in the league (Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown). Through seven games, Brady has completed 67.0-percent of his passes for 2,275 yards, 21 touchdowns and just three interceptions.

That is not good news for New Orleans’ pass defense. Even though the Saints have only surrendered six passing touchdowns as opposed to their nine interceptions, they still surrendered an average of 250.7 yards per game.

This will be a difficult game for New Orleans, as we predict that they allow the seven-time Super Bowl champion to throw for over 400 passing yards.
