The New Orleans Saints aim to start the season with another victory against an NFC South opponent as they prepare to host the 1-0 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Check out our top picks for the game.
In Week 1 of Sunday Night Football, the Buccaneers dominated the Dallas Cowboys with a convincing 19-3 victory. Meanwhile, the Saints pulled off a come-from-behind win against the Atlanta Falcons with a 27-26 road victory earlier in the day. Both teams, who finished first and second in the NFC South last week, have new head coaches this season.

The Buccaneers’ favoritism has decreased from 4 points to 2.5 points. This shift can be attributed to injuries on the Tampa Bay team, but also to the growing betting support for New Orleans. The Saints have received 59% of the total bets placed, despite only accounting for 45% of the tickets.
Likewise, the majority of bets (56%) have been placed on the Over, yet these bets only make up 39% of the total amount wagered on the Over/Under. As a result, the line has decreased from 46.5 to 43.5.

Buccaneers vs. Saints ATS Pick
Buccaneers -2.5 (-112) ★★★★
An impressive primetime victory in Dallas last weekend saw Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady and the Bucs prove their preseason doubters wrong. Despite taking until the second half to score a touchdown, the defending NFC South champs dominated offensively by notching field goals on four of their first five possessions.
Tampa Bay’s defense stood tall against the powerful Cowboys offense, preventing Dallas from advancing past the 40-yard line after giving up a field goal on their initial possession. Now that the dress rehearsal is over, expect the offense to put up points on Sunday.

Buccaneers vs. Saints O/U Pick
Over 44.5 (-110) ★★★
It is common to see high-scoring games between these two teams. In their last four meetings, the Under has won three times, but the total score has exceeded 50 points twice and in seven of their last 10 matchups.
Buccaneers vs. Saints Prop Pick
Brady Over 1.5 TD passes (-180) ★★★
Brady showcased his usual midseason form in Week 1, completing 18 of 27 pass attempts and throwing a five-yard touchdown pass to Mike Evans in the third quarter to seal the game. Despite facing injuries to key receivers like Evans, Julio Jones, and Chris Godwin, Brady is still performing at a high level. The New Orleans secondary is also struggling with injuries, particularly with cornerbacks Paulson Adebo and Alontae Taylor.
After struggling to contain an inferior Atlanta attack in their comeback win last week, the Saints must focus on keeping Brady out of the end zone in their upcoming game.
