Bucs vs. Saints prediction and game thread

Well, I will most likely be talking to myself here but never the less, anyone want to make predictions on the Bucs vs. Saints game slated for this weekend?

My prediction? Pain.

I actually think that while you guys will probably lose this weekend... I think the spread is WAYYYYYYYY too high (earlier in the week at was at 5 1/2).... I think you guys, after being swept in the series last year, have something to try and prove against the Saints... and while N.O. will be pumped up after the loss last week, and have more prep time from last week's game being on Thursday... I think it will be a bit more competitve than people think

N.O. 31
TB 27

I take the under if your predicted score was the line from Vegas, Dave. I have little faith in the Buc offense. Maybe everyone's loss of faith will motivate the team? Maybe... But then there's the Defense with aging players, new blood and still-green rookies (everyone looks at Sabby Piscatelli as the new John Lynch). I have faith in Monte Kiffin and his system, I don't in Jon Gruden and his offense.

Saints 24
Buccaneers 13

Well... I got the 31 right, for the wrong team.....

Utterly shocked that N.O. was that ineffective in this game

But good win for your Bucs
