Game Preview
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-2) have more on the line than just an NFC South battle against the New Orleans Saints (2-3) this Sunday. As Hurricane Milton prompted an early relocation to New Orleans, the Bucs have had to balance game prep and family safety, practicing at Tulane since Wednesday.
Head coach Todd Bowles confirmed the team, their families, and even their pets were evacuated smoothly. While life-threatening weather has been a major distraction, Tampa Bay now shifts its focus to securing a crucial win in the division, with a chance to pull ahead of the Saints and stay atop the NFC South standings, currently tied with the Falcons.
With extra rest following a 36-30 overtime loss to Atlanta, the Bucs are eager to build off their season-high 160 rushing yards. QB Baker Mayfield stressed the importance of controlling the line of scrimmage and avoiding the second-half letdowns that cost them against the Falcons.
For the Saints, they face a tough challenge after a short week following their 26-13 loss to Kansas City. Adding to the complexity is rookie QB Spencer Rattler making his first career start, as Derek Carr remains sidelined with an oblique injury. Head coach Dennis Allen is banking on Rattler’s mobility and accuracy to handle Tampa Bay’s aggressive blitzes.
Injury reports show both teams missing key players, including receivers for Tampa Bay and tight end Taysom Hill for New Orleans. But with the division so tight and plenty of uncertainty surrounding the Saints’ QB situation, sharp bettors might look for value in Tampa Bay’s steadier offense and recent defensive reinforcements, including the return of Luke Goedeke at right tackle and possibly Antoine Winfield Jr. at safety.
This showdown offers high stakes for both teams in the race for the NFC South, with Tampa Bay holding the edge in health and stability as they aim to rebound.
