The New Orleans Saints had a chance to make this game moot but couldn’t finish out a close game against the Carolina Panthers last week.
A few weeks back the Bucs were hot and in the playoff picture, but they have lost 3 straight and if they lose this game they can kiss their playoff hopes goodbye.
As we reach the halfway point of the NFL regular season, the odds makers continue to keep their lines razor sharp. For the second week in-a-row, six favorites and six underdogs each covered with one game ending as a ‘push’.
The New Orleans Saints are going to be doing something that they haven’t done in the Sean Payton era: playing a meaningful game in Week 17. They still have a shot at the NFC South as well as the No. 1 seed in the NFC if they can win and the Atlanta Falcons were to lose.
Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are also in a must-win situation as they need a win and some help to make the playoffs.
The New Orleans Saints were embarrassed on national television last week, but now that you take a retrospective look back to their last month of action, you won’t be too surprised.
The Saints nearly lost in Washington and to be frank, sports handicapping bettors felt that that should have been a loss. The Redskins were a chip shot field goal away from sewing that game up but missed and allowed the Saints to roar back.
