1. The Saints bounce back and beat the Bucs

This prediction isn’t hard to fathom as the Saints are still one of the best teams in the NFC. The team has handled adversity with the confidence and poise of a veteran team used to winning. Drew Brees is playing his best football of his career while the offense is continuing to put up monster points and the defense is making key stops and getting takeaways.

For now, the game against the Cowboys seemed like a fluke. There’s no reason not to believe in the Saints. Their Week 1 matchup against the Bucs left a lot to desired, but the team has moved past then. Regardless, they did still put 40 points on the board and that wass without Mark Ingram to aid Alvin Kamara with the run.

Going up against the Bucs for the second time, I predict the Saints will win and split the series. In addition, the Saints will clinch the NFC South title for the second year in a row. The team is also a favorite as the NFC Superbowl representative and could clinch a first-round bye in the playoffs.

Between the two, the Saints are the stronger team. They might make a few mistakes but they always overcome them. There’s no way they’re going to waste a chance to avenge one of their two losses from this season.
