Prediction
The wheels have fallen off this New Orleans team since a terrific first two games. They have now lost three in a row and have to go to a rookie quarterback due to the Derek Carr injury. The Bucs offense has been very good this season behind Baker Mayfield and should score a bunch of points again today on the turf. The road team has won six of the last eight meetings, including a 26-9 Tampa Bay win last season at the Superdome as 4.5-point favorites. I don’t see the Saints doing much on offense. This should be an easy Bucs win.
Pick: Bucs -3.5
