New Orleans Saints: 3 Bold predictions vs. Buccaneers in Week 9
3. Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram rush for 200+ yards
Known for having a pass-heavy offense, the New Orleans Saints are now being known for their ability to run the ball. With Adrian Peterson now out, Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara are the dynamic duo, splitting carries and racking up touchdowns.

In Week 9, I predict more of the same for Kamara and Ingram. Between the two of them, they’ll rack up over 200 yards rushing and at least, a touchdown for each. It’s not hard to imagine after both rushed for touchdowns last week. Hopefully, Ingram can keep his butterfingers at bay this week.
Ingram has been taking a majority of the carries, but I see Kamara’s role increasing a little bit more this week. Ingram only rushed for 75 yards last week to Kamara’s 28. But in Week 9, the two should be able to run all over the Bucs secondary.
Both are huge factors in the passing game, too so it only adds to their value. This season, the Bucs have allowed 742 yards in 8 games which are close to almost 100 yards a game so Kamara and Ingram should have a field day.
Ingram and Kamara should both be able to get scores this week. In addition, I see Ingram rushing for over 100 yards and Kamara hopefully ending up with at least 50.
