New Orleans Saints vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Same-Game Parlay Picks
Saints +2.5 (-108)
The New Orleans Saints have a lot of naysayers after an underwhelming first week against the Atlanta Falcons. But as I always say, it doesn't matter how you win the first couple of games of the season. It just matters that you find a way to win. The Saints have a win after Week 1, and that's all that matters. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers defeated the Cowboys with terrific defense throughout the game. They allowed just three points to the Cowboys and eventually hurt Dak Prescott. But if we're being honest, the Tampa Bay offensive line wasn't that much better than Dallas. The Saints should have a fun time rushing Brady, who isn't very mobile at this stage of his career. The Saints have to get Alvin Kamara involved more in the offense. He's listed as questionable coming into this game. But Jameis Winston has a solid amount of targets at receiver and ultimately played well against the Falcons. If the Saints can convert in Buccaneers' territory, they'll stick around in this game and potentially win.
Buccaneers Under 23.5 Total Points (-106)
Let's be honest here. Chris Godwin will more than likely be inactive at receiver. Leonard Fournette likely won't produce 100 yards rushing every game. Meanwhile, the offensive line could put Brady in danger with how they played against the Cowboys. Forget the stats. Tampa Bay needs to be much better on the offensive line. The Buccaneers couldn't convert in the red zone against the Cowboys and should have an even harder time trying to convert against the Saints in that area. I don't think the Bucs will have a great time offensively in this one.
Under 22.5 First Half (-110)
I also don't want to discredit the Buccaneers defensively and what they bring to the table. The Bucs were disciplined on the defensive end and made most tackles when they got a hand on the offensive player with the ball. When you can tackle, you'll limit the offense a little bit more. The Bucs played better than the Saints last week on the defensive end, and while I like the Saints to score some points, this game could replicate what we saw in the last one between these teams when the game finished 9-0 last year.
