The Bucs lost a heartbreaker last week against the tough Chicago Bears. This week they have a chance to redeem themselves as they head out to Baton Rouge to take on the nomadic New Orleans/Baton Rouge/San Antonio Saints.
This is a road divisional game, which is always tough. The Saints have played us very well in the past, so we will need to play our best to pull out a victory. This is the first game of a three game road swing with the Panthers and the Patriots awaiting our arrival. This is the easiest of those games and a game we have to have. The Falcons and Panthers play each other, so if the Bucs can win, they have a chance to be in tie for first place again. A loss could severly hurt their playoff chances.
The Saints are fighting tremendous odds and certainly are in a no-win situation. Unfortunately, the Bucs need to take advantage of that and win this game using a stingy defense and a strong running game. Place kicker Matt Bryant has been held out all week with a hamstring pull and the Bucs may have to rely on the kicker they cut in camp... I hope the game doesn't rely on a field goal this week.
My Heart: Bucs 24-10.
My Mind: Bucs 22-17.
My Colon: Saints 21-20.
My Pick: Bucs 23-19...
The Bucs need this win. The Niners and Jets losses are already haunting them. A Saints loss here could be another.
My Record: 7-4
