Saints vs. Buccaneers Prediction, Odds, Against Spread and Over/Under for NFL Week 15
Sunday Night Football in Week 15 will feature an NFC South showdown between the New Orleans Saints and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The game is a near must-win for the Saints, as they are one of five teams at 6-7 who are fighting for the final playoff spot in the NFC. The Bucs also have something to fight for. They battle with the Cardinals and the Packers for the No. 1 seed in the conference which would give them a BYE in the first week of the playoffs.
The Saints upset the Buccaneers 36-27 in their first meeting in Week 8.

Saints vs. Buccaneers Prediction and Pick
The Saints haven't been the same team since Jameis Winston went down with a season-ending injury in their last game against the Buccaneers, and I expect the Bucs to take advantage of that in Week 15 and exact their revenge.
The Saints' biggest weakness is their secondary. They're 21st in the NFL in opponent yards per pass attempt, allowing an average of 6.9 yards per throw. That's not good news for Saints fans and bettors, as the Buccaneers, led by NFL MVP favorite Tom Brady, have been the best passing team in the league this season. They're averaging an astounding 314.2 passing yards per game.
I can't picture a scenario where the Saints offense can keep pace with the Buccaneers passing attack. I'll back Tampa Bay to cover the double-digit spread.
