NFL NFC South Week 2 Odds & Point Spread: Buccaneers vs. Saints

It got pretty rough in the stadium, fans were already headed to the exits. Right when fans were ready to start jumping off the pirate ship the Bucs showed a glimmer of what could be.

DEFENDING BREES: Despite losing seven straight to New Orleans, the Bucs have found ways to frustrate Brees, intercepting him six times last season. One of the reasons the Saints made the trade for Unger was for games against players like McCoy. Despite his five catches for 60 yards, Terrance Williams is now the top receiver in Dallas after the Cowboys lost Dez Bryant to a foot injury. At 5-foot-10, though, he isn’t an ideal threat around the end zone.

Not so surprisingly, Mariota is the top-selling jersey in the state of Tennessee. After a third down run the Titans had to punt the ball away. “So we expect big improvements this week”. “Plus he’s just a really good athlete for being a guy that big and long”. Jameis Winston struggled in week one and the Bucs’ defense completely collapsed – something they’ll want to correct before the season spirals out of control. After that call the game had gone from bad to unbearable.

The most interesting story line for LSU and the New Orleans Saints in 2015 will be watching how their quarterback issues play out. The third quarter was a very uneventful one for the Bucs. LSU Twitter will demand Les Miles get placed into a cannon and launched to Grand Isle following LSU’s first offensive play. Saints’ executives didn’t discuss business; instead, they established personal bonds with the quarterback and shared tips for raising a family in the area.

METAIRIE, La. (AP) – Saints running back C.J. Spiller says he isn’t being coy when he declines to pinpoint when he’ll play in his first game this season. For Brees, he’s got to hope Rob Ryan can coax good play from the kids on defense, while he breaks in a bunch of young receivers on offense, before Father Time comes knocking on his door. It’s just one game.

However, the same can be said about the Saints’ defense as it is still adjusting to all the new faces. Now I am in no way jumping ship. But if they do not have a sack this week and get constant pressure on Winston, I would be more than anxious . Access to these games is available within NFL Game Pass on an on-demand basis in the NFL Game Pass archives after such games have aired on broadcast television.

Once again I’m just going to keep saying it: There are absolutely no excuses for that offense not to run up the score and yards inside the Superdome against the Buccaneers.

If they’re able to at least minimize the effectiveness of the Tampa Bay running game, they’ll force the Buccaneers to take to the air in order to move the chains.
