Does "struggle"=lose? Those are good teams and they won't go down easy, but I don't think "struggle" is the right way to put it.

Two years in a row the Bucs have come into New Orleans and shocked the Saints for late season wins. Thankfully, this game does not take place in the final two weeks of the season, as the previous two games have. In fact, this game will be played before the Saints' bye week.

Hopefully, that fact will allow the Saints to attack this game and this opponent at the dome, instead of sitting back not concerned about winning. Josh Freeman and Co. seem as if they are a team on the rise, and will be gunning for Brees and the Saints again.

The black and gold should have revenge on their mind this time. Let's just hope it's not revenge from a Week-6 loss. My prediction is that the October game at Tampa will swing the Saints' way. For whatever reason, the road team always tends to win when these two teams play one another.

Yep, 2009 was odd in that we jumped out to a 17-0 lead and coasted. The Bucs scored two quickies late in the game and the Saints couldn't wake up. It happens, but not very often.

2010 was the last game of the season and we rested numerous starters in a meaningless game. It was like a pre-season game, except Tampa kept their starters in for 4 quarters.
