Two NFC South rivals will be facing off when the New Orleans Saints visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football.
Both of these teams picked up wins in the previous week.
Tampa Bay opened up as an 11.5 point favorite and that number is now down to 10.5. The total has gone from 48 to 46.5.
New Orleans Saints
The Saints have certainly not played great this year, but they are still in it. I do not think they will get past the regular season, but maybe they can surprise me.
New Orleans beat the New York Jets on Sunday by a score of 30-9. They did just what they had to do against an absolutely dreadful football team.
A lot of people thought this team would be playing better right now, but for the most part, their quarterback play just has not been good enough. Generally speaking, it is hard to win games when that is the case.
Taysom Hill was 15/21 for 175 yards in the win over New York. Unsurprisingly, Alvin Kamara had a big day running the football in that game. He finished the day with 27 carries for 120 yards.
You often hear about how this defense is so good, but I just do not see it. Yeah, they looked good in the game over the Jets, but does that really say much? This unit will be in for a huge challenge when they face the Bucs.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Buccaneers have played very well this year. Based on the way they are playing, it would not shock me if they won another Super Bowl.
Tampa Bay beat the Buffalo Bills by a score of 33-27. It was a very impressive win over a tough opponent.
Although they played very well on Sunday, the game never should have gone to overtime. With that said, you do have to give credit to Bills for making it that close of a game.
In the win over Buffalo, Tom Brady was 31/46 for 363 yards with 2 touchdown passes. It looks like he is on his way to another MVP.
The defense is certainly not as good as it was last year, but it has not been terrible. They have had some bad games, but overall, I have been impressed with the way this unit has played.

4* Free Week 15 NFL Betting Prediction: Buccaneers -10.5
I get that the Saints have given the Bucs some trouble lately, but I do not see that happening on Sunday. I just do not trust New Orleans.
Even though Tampa Bay looked good in their last game, they did not play a complete game. After they got the early lead, they seemed to lose focus and let the Bills back in the game.
I look for the Bucs to take control of the game from the early moments on Sunday. Given how much better of a team they are, that should be the case, frankly.
New Orleans is going to have a helluva time slowing down the offense for the Bucs. I think that Brady will shred them apart. Not to mention, I do not see Taysom Hill and the offense for the Saints scoring all that much.
Yes, 10.5 is a high number to lay, but it does not bother me. I feel like this game will not be all that close when all is said and done.
Give me the Bucs laying the points at home here.
