Buc’s favored by 5.5 point ... Do you believe that?
this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; 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 |

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.

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. |

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

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.

Saints have been one of the worst team in NFL history as favorites, but one of the best teams as the underdog...
Saints have their issues, especially on pass defense, but I'll take the Saints and the points, plus I'll double down on the Saints for the upset... And Marshon Lattimore always seems to show up when it's the Bucs; and JackRabbit says it's up after his sparring last week... |

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

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