I will go out on a limb and say (RE: Tampa Game)

If Payton pulls the starters at halftime, or breaks his leg, we will be in trouble.

Tampa's players have already quit on Schiano. That's what happens when an unsuccessful college coach comes to the NFL and demands things his way without ever proving himself. Tampa will score a TD or two, but they're doomed.

Trap game this week.
And next week.
Oh, and the next week.
We could be favored in Chicago as well.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we get 100yrd rusher in this one.. maybe Ingram maybe sproles orrrr Robinson (less likely).

Tampa's back to the wall and they are at home. I look for a real dog fight.

In games against Tampa since 2009 in which we haven't rested our starters or Payton hasn't broken his leg, the Saints have outscored Tampa Bay 172-54.

Didn't they beat us at their home in 2011?

This. Home game for a 0-1 dysfunctional DIVISION team. We always blow out dysfunctional, vastly underdog DIVISION teams with this good of a Saints team?

2012: swept TB; we go 7-9
2011: split series but we go 13-3
2010: split series but we go 11-5
2009: split series but we go 13-3 plus that Super Bowl thing.
2008: split series; we go 8-8
2007: swept by TB, we go 7-9
2006: swept TB, we go 10-6 plus NFC Champ game

Different coaches, coordinators, personnel on both sides for 7 years...I get it. But I also get the fact it's a division game against an inferior team. We split with TB this year; count it. And betting Special Teams the reason we blow the one we lose.

Tampa is one team I think we can bury 6 feet under.

As Mitch stated in another thread, we are around the 500 mark in the Payton era against Tampa. I think we have won one more game than them. I dont get why everyone is so quick to dismiss them and say its going to be a blowout. They tend to play us tough, as all division rivals do.
I think we will beat them, but not as handily as some here might think.
