Buc’s favored by 5.5 point ... Do you believe that?
 

Not being a Homer here but I find this bit over the top even for Vegas line. The Buc’s barley beat The New York Giants.

Yes...after the last couple weeks performances by the Saints, i am surprised it isn't higher to be honest.

Brady is not going to choke

Re: Buc’s favored by 5.5 point ... Do you believe that?
 

Although I think it’s high,,,,,,the wise guys are pretty good at what they do. And I am a homer. It’s all about a number to stimulate action on the game.

Re: Buc’s favored by 5.5 point ... Do you believe that?
 

With the way our DB's are playing and how the Bucs embarrassed the Packers a few weeks ago, its probably granted that they open as favourites.

Their D is much better than ours, their offense has the potential to go off.

Re: Buc’s favored by 5.5 point ... Do you believe that?
 

Pretty believable. Bucs offense is starting to gel and they have a great defense.

Re: Buc’s favored by 5.5 point ... Do you believe that?
 

This part exactly. The general betting public has totally bought into the media hype that Tampa Bay and Brady are the next world champs. The line is not based upon what the odds makers believe will actually happen. The line is set to generate equal amounts of cash bets on both teams. That's how they make their money. This usually requires giving more points to what is perceived by the public as the weaker team. The professionals love this scenario. I expect that there will be big late money coming in on the Saints.

Line seems about right, Yucs at home against division rival; one of the 2 losses. Saints wins against mediocre teams by 3 points.
Haven't played a complete game since Yucs week 1.

Will have to duplicate that to win tonight.
Win or lose they'll look there best; wearing all white color rush unis.

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Buc’s favored by 5.5 point ... Do you believe that?
 

Agee with most of your post ... but we have not had OUR FULL Offense since week 1 ... Think this will be a close game if ... if our defense make even the slight improvement in stopping the absolute blown coverages deep the 2 or 3 times norm per game.

Cautiously Optimistic ... Buc’s are not to be taken lightly ... we will see them again this season.

I'd like more info on Drew's "tape" and who might play if he doesn't. Either way... Bucs going down.

When we played in front of fans our team played much better. Will there be fans at Tampa? If so, they should get to watch their team lose to the underdogs.

X factor tonight - Jared Cook.

Historically, he's had really solid games vs Tampa.

Let's assume DB arm isn't 100, what's plan B? More Taysom RPO's? Jameis sighting ? Or simply smash mouth(run) football between the tackles?

Re: Buc’s favored by 5.5 point ... Do you believe that?
 

Tampa's D is too fast and physical to rely on 3 yard passes or a run heavy approach.

If Brees can't get intermediate throws going, then I don't think we have much of a chance.

Re: Buc’s favored by 5.5 point ... Do you believe that?
 

Did we cover the spread ?

Re: Buc’s favored by 5.5 point ... Do you believe that?
 

The reason for the 5 1/2 point spread for the Bucc's is because of Tom Brady's presence. It could have gone down to the wire for a tough win, but not to be. The Saints came to town and said , your going down. It was a dominating win and a huge statement. Saints are marching their way to the playoffs.

Re: Buc’s favored by 5.5 point ... Do you believe that?
 

I think your question was answered!

Re: Buc’s favored by 5.5 point ... Do you believe that?
 

Just saying I understand the line is a function of trying to move the betting around so they can getting the betting more or less even to win on the juice ... but I love the huge fail with the talking heads .... NBC had all their brain trust pick Tampa .... Chris Collins and Al Michael’s didn’t really know what to say ... lotta backtrack going on today 🤣 Saints Super Bowl Team again.

Re: Buc’s favored by 5.5 point ... Do you believe that?
 

So says the swamee!

Re: Buc’s favored by 5.5 point ... Do you believe that?
 

Lattimore stays in Evans head rent free.

Total non factor.

Re: Buc’s favored by 5.5 point ... Do you believe that?
 

Trust the bookies. Tampa was a sure win according to most anal cysts(analysts). Remember, always bet on gold.

Re: Buc’s favored by 5.5 point ... Do you believe that?
 

This is what I thought going in. Add in the fact that nobody had any game film of our healthy offense this year. I was pretty optimistic for those two reasons alone.
