The 1-3 New Orleans Saints will try to salvage their near-lost season when they face the 1-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Saints were pegged as early Super Bowl betting favorites, but following three dismal road losses, SU and ATS, are in a shocking must-win situation entering Week 5.
The Bucs struggled to generate offense in three losses, SU and ATS, to start the season, but showed poise in their 27-24 comeback win over Pittsburgh last weekend. Aside from their humiliating 56-14 loss in Atlanta two weeks ago, the Buccaneers have played solid defense, allowing just 21 points per game, but were crushed 42-17 by the Saints at the Superdome in Week 17 of last season.
