After a big win over the Dallas Cowboys in primetime, the New Orleans Saints will face off against a division rival. Five bold predictions against the Buccaneers.

Week 4 was huge for the New Orleans Saints and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was arguably more exciting for the Buccaneers, though. The team took down the Los Angeles Rams in a heated matchup with a 55-40 score.

As for the New Orleans Saints, the team faced off against non-division rival, the Dallas Cowboys and won in a low-scoring affair of 12-10. A win is a win, though, so it’s nothing to complain about.

Heading into Week 5, the Saints are living up to the hype despite not having Drew Brees. While Teddy Bridgewater hasn’t been a great replacement, he’s handled things when he had to but mostly, the defense has been pulling the team out of the depths. Thankfully, the defense has accepted the challenge and put together back-to-back solid games against the Seahawks and the Cowboys.

Coming into Week 5, this matchup would usually get handed to the Saints automatically but it might not be as easy this time. The Bucs defense ended up being a handful for the Rams and it cost them the game. The Saints don’t want the same thing to happen to them as they recently lost to the Rams.

This matchup is a lot more exciting for both teams but especially the Saints. Here are five bold predictions for the Saints as they face off for the first time this season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
