Buccaneers vs. Saints Spread Shifts Towards New Orleans

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 6-1 and sit atop the odds list at WynnBET to win the Super Bowl at +500. 

Despite Tampa Bay’s hot start, the Bucs haven’t been the best team to bet on, going just 3-4 against the spread in the 2021 season. 

In Week 8, Tom Brady and company will go on the road to face the New Orleans Saints in an NFC South division battle. 

Brady and the Bucs opened as 5.5-point road favorites against New Orleans, but the line at WynnBET has actually crept to the Saints in this one. 

Here’s a look at the latest odds: 

Buccaneers vs. Saints Odds, Spread and Total

Spread: 

• Buccaneers -5.0 (-110)
• Saints +5.0 (-110)

Moneyline: 

• Buccaneers: -230
• Saints: +195

Total: 

• 50.5 (Over -110/Under -110)

Antonio Brown May Miss Second Straight Game for Buccaneers

Antonio Brown didn’t play in Tampa Bay’s blowout win over the Chicago Bears in Week 7, and it appears he is trending in the wrong direction this week. 

Brown is not participating in practice today and has a crutch with him on the sidelines. 

This shouldn’t move the line too much, as the Buccaneers still have plenty of weapons, but it does hurt Tampa Bay’s offense against a stout New Orleans defense. 

Saints vs. Buccaneers Prediction and Pick

Even though Tampa Bay has struggled against the spread this season, I still like the Bucs at anything less than a touchdown. 

Brady and the Tampa Bay offense have been nearly unstoppable, and the Saints struggled to score against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7. Seattle came into the matchup with one of the league’s worst defenses and the third-worst team against the run. 

Tampa Bay, the No. 1 team against the run, will get a chance to tee off on Jameis Winston in Week 8. 

Give me the Bucs to cover, even if Brown can’t go. Tampa Bay is looking like it has a chance to repeat as Super Bowl champions this season.
