2008-11-30 - New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Bucs
A Sports Betting Pick by Dogg
Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL
Sunday November 30, 2008 - Kickoff 1:00 PM ET
Tampa Bay Bucs (8-3 SU, 5-0 Home, 7-4 ATS)
The Bucs don’t do anything but win, especially at home. This is a team that is 8-3 but you’d never know it, they get little to no respect.
Tampa are tied with Carolina and both have the second best record in the conference. More than likely the winner of the division will get a first round bye in the playoffs, and home field advantage against everyone except the Giants.
New Orleans (6-5 SU, 1-4 Road, 7-4 ATS)
Everyone saw what New Orleans did to Green Bay last week on Monday night. Last impressions are sometimes what drives public opinion.
The Saints aren’t as good as they looked. New Orleans defense gives up a lot of yards and points.
The Verdict
After a short week, I don’t think the Saints can stay close to a very good Tampa Bay team that is in a dog fight to win its division.
Tampa Bay’s defense can slow down that New Orleans offense.
This is a big game for for Tampa Bay. The Tampa Bay offense can move the ball and score against the Saints.
The Pick :
New Orleans 17-24 Tampa Bay
Gooner’s Statistical Value Bet
I’m taking Tampa Bay -4
