Customarily, a game against a division opponent carries a great deal of importance.But as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers travel to New Orleans to meet the Saints on Sunday, the Bucs come in brimming confidence and knowing that another victory would make the NFC South race much more intense.
Tampa Bay, 26-20 winners over the Saints just three weeks ago, is a half-game behind New Orleans in the division standings, well aware the home team is reeling after suffering an ignominious defeat to the previously winless Rams last week. The Bucs are coming off a bye week, but this incarnation of the Tampa Bay offense will have a different look than the one the Saints saw on Oct. 16. Since then, Tampa Bay has lost arguably its best running back to a season-ending injury.

All we have to do is play Saints ball instead of playing Tampa ball, with Brees throwing no INT's and ball security we should come out on top. The INT's killed us last time, need to be a little more careful this time around.

Brees was definitelt off the first time around. Not gonna happen in the Dome. Protection is must, the O-line needs to redeem itself.

IMO, Saints need to beat the Bucs by at least 17 points to put the rest of the league on notice that we are back.
