NFL Week 13 (MNF): Saints vs. Buccaneers – Preview & Free Pick

The Buccaneers’ offense started the season with key losses to the offensive line, and it just got worse with the loss of their best lineman, Tristan Wirfs, for several weeks.  The Tampa Bay offense has been stagnant with Tom Brady not having time to throw and a running game that is simply the worst in the NFL.  The Saints’ defense has gotten better as the season has moved on.  They have held four of their last five opponents under the Bucs’ posted team total of 22.5 and have yielded an average of fewer than 300 yards of offense in those games.  They are also likely to see the return of Marshon Lattimore, their best defensive back, who has had the number of Bucs receiver Mike Evans.  Finally, the Bucs have remarkably only gone over 22 points one time all season, in a 41-31 loss at home to Kansas City.  Bovada is dealing a 22.5 and we are down on the under.
