Ink on the box scores from Week 1 is barely dry but we’re already on to Week 2 of the NFL regular season, and the New Orleans Saints are playing the part of underdogs at home after opening as road favorites to open the new league year. That makes sense considering the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are visiting them for a game at the Caesars Superdome this Sunday.
Tampa Bay is favored to defeat the Saints in New Orleans by 3.5 points; taken with the over/under of 44.5, and that suggests a final score in the neighborhood of Buccaneers 24, Saints 21. If Tom Brady’s offense does score 24 points it would be their third-highest scoring total against New Orleans since he arrived in the NFC South, and the second-best total in a win.
