1. Saints beat Bucs by double digits

Moving to the last prediction, this one is score-related. Every week, the Saints have almost always managed to outscore their opponents. However, last week was a different story as the Saints were beaten by the Falcons by 17 points. It was a huge disappointment for the Saints and honestly, something that none of us expected to see.

This week against the Bucs, I predict that the Saints will return to form and ensure that they beat the Bucs by at least 10 points. Considering how well they played them last time, it could even be more.

Even though Teddy Bridgewater was their starter, the team still managed to put up 31 points and ensure a win. There’s no way that Drew Brees can’t do the same thing since Bridgewater threw for 4 touchdowns and an interception.

Getting Drew Brees back should ensure that the Saints put up big numbers. After last week, they need a solid game to show that they’re worth all of the hype that they’re getting. Falling a second week in a row isn’t a good look and the Saints need to ensure a victory on both offense and defense.

As long as the defense can play similarly to how they did in their last meeting and Brees connects with Michael Thomas, then there’s no reason why they shouldn’t beat the Bucs by over 10 points.
