Pro Football Network: Buccaneers 24, Saints 21

Jarrett Bailey writes: "The Saints had the Buccaneers number in both matchups between the two teams this season. New Orleans’ defense played spectacularly against the Bears and, aside from a touchdown with no time left, kept them out of the end zone. It wasn’t pretty for most of the game offensively, but Michael Thomas had a much-needed big game to give their offense some sort of life that didn’t come in the form of Alvin Kamara. Tampa Bay’s offense played well against Washington but they let Taylor Heinicke keep it close until the final drive. The passing game was in sync all game, though. Antonio Brown had a walk-in touchdown, and the Buccaneers offensive line kept Tom Brady clean for most of the game. However, one thing that Tampa would like to see is fewer drops from Chris Godwin. He played well but had some drops that were uncharacteristic of him. While the Saints’ defense is great, their offense has looked lethargic in several games this season. I can’t see any team beating Tom Brady three times in one season, and for that reason, I’m going to pick the Bucs in one of the more competitive NFL playoff games of the week."

Pete Fiutak writes: "There’s no way New Orleans can make it a threezie that easy, can it? It had few problems in 34-23 Week 1 win and dominated 38-3 in early November, but this is a stronger, sharper, better Buccaneer team now. Tom Brady appears to be in sync with all of his high-end fantasy targets, he’s getting a whole lot of time to work, and he’s getting help from a running game that was without Ronald Jones, but got a huge day against Washington from Leonard Fournette. And the defense couldn’t seem to do much to hold down Taylor Heinecke. The Football Team was never going to beat the Bucs, but Heinecke and company made it very, very interesting. Blow it off. Tampa Bay got the free space game against the NFC East team with the losing record, New Orleans got its own free space matchup against an overmatched Chicago, and now the two get what they wanted in Round 3. Tampa Bay will start out hot – jacked to prove that this will be a very, very different game this time around – but New Orleans will slowly and steadily keep producing, and then everything will come together early in the fourth. Michael Thomas is starting to come back. Alvin Kamara is fine. The Saint D appears to have its groove back. The Drew Brees ride isn’t ending quite yet."
