2019 NFL picks, score predictions for Week 11

New Orleans Saints (7-2) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-6)

Sunday, November 17, 1PM ET

Last week was a fluke, right? I would have never imagined the New Orleans Saints would fall to the miserable Atlanta Falcons, but that’s what happened. Will the Saints fall victim to another NFC South upset in Week 11, or can they get back on track?

I’m predicting New Orleans will get it done against a severely flawed Tampa Bay Buccaneers team. However, while it might seem like this should be a cakewalk, it won’t be. If anything, this could come down to the final possession or two before a winner is determined. For the Saints’ sake, let’s hope the same offense doesn’t show up that came to play against Atlanta.

Assuming we see the New Orleans team we’ve become used to in 2019, they should come away victorious. Brees should be able to take advantage of the Buccaneers’ league-worst pass defense, which is giving up nearly 300 passing yards per game so far this season.

Jameis Winston should keep pressure on the Saints defense all game long, but I wouldn’t be surprised if his insecurity with the ball cost him in the end. Whether it’s a last-minute turnover or giving New Orleans an extra opportunity at the end of the game, Winston will be the difference, allowing his NFC South rivals to walk away with the W.

Prediction: Saints win 24-21
