AMEDEUS' NFL IN THE POCKET PLAY!
(NFL) Saints (NO) vs. Buccaneers (TB),
Point Spread: -14.00 | -115.00 Buccaneers (TB) (Home)
Result: Loss
The Buccaneers are coming into this game with a 9-7 record this season and they are in control of their own fate right now. They are leading the division and they just need to win this game to win the division and clinch their playoff spot. Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans both have other reasons to be playing in this game as well, and they still need the win so they are going to get up for this game as they destroyed this team the last time they faced. They are going up against a Saints team that is 5-11 this season and they are already out of the playoffs so they have nothing to play for here. They could try to play spoiler in this game, but they are also missing a lot of key pieces and have not been playing well in recent games. They have lost their last 3 straight games which includes a shutout loss to the Packers 34-0 and a 25-10 loss at home to the Raiders in their last game. The Saints have not been able to stop anything on defense recently and their run defense has been especially bad. Bucky Irving has been running very well for the Bucs recently and they have a very good quarterback in Mayfield who will be able to move the team downfield here. The Saints have also been awful on offense as they have scored 10 points total in their last 2 games and have not scored more than 20 points in 5 straight games either. The Buccaneers faced the Saints in New Orleans earlier this season as well and that game was a 51-27 win for them on the road with Rattler playing for the Saints as well. The Buccaneers still have everything to play for in this game and are already coming off of a 48-14 win at home last week against a bad divisional rival. The Buccaneers will cover the spread in this game.
