New Orleans Saints vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Prediction: An exciting match ahead

New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will lock horns at the Caesars Superdome Stadium on Saturday. We give full match analysis and expected match outcomes.

The Saints beat the Falcons in a nail-biting season opener on the road. When they played Atlanta, the oddsmakers' favorite, New Orleans, looked like they would lose a drubbing. But in a furious comeback, scoring 17 unanswered points, the Saints snatched a victory with 19 seconds remaining. The New Orleans Saints hope to improve their season-opening 27-26 comeback victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Taysom Hill leads the Saints with 81 rushing yards and a touchdown, while Jameis Winston has thrown for 269 yards and two touchdowns (67.6% completion rate). New Orleans' Jarvis Landry has hauled in 7 catches for 114 yards and two touchdowns, while Michael Thomas has five catches for 57 yards and two scores. The Saints' previous game against the Falcons wasn't nearly as challenging as this one is projected. But we hope they can still play well and show us something special in this game.

The Buccaneers are coming off a season-opening 19-3 victory over the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, and they'll be eager to keep the momentum going. While Tom Brady is 2-for-3 for 212 yards with a TD and an INT on 66.7% throwing, Leonard Fournette has gained 127 yards on the ground to lead the Bucs. So far, Mike Evans leads the team with five receptions, 71 yards, and a score, while Julio Jones is second with 69 yards. The Bucs' victory by 19-3 was due to their strong defensive play and effective ground game. Devin White has made eight tackles, including seven solo stops, while Antoine Winfield Jr. has made two sacks and an interception for the Bucs' defense. Leonard Fournette ran for 21 of his team's 127 yards. It would be great if the Bucs could repeat their comfortable victory from last week.

The fact that Brady has been winless in regular-season games versus New Orleans since joining the Buccaneers will serve as the game's central plot point. Ultimately, a Jared Cook fumble helped Brady upset them in the playoffs. Dennis Allen's defense recorded a shutout against Brady for the first time in his career last season. The Orleans has been unstoppable in their last five matchups, winning four of those five despite being heavy underdogs. For that reason, we anticipate a close contest.
