Top pick saints -9.5 vs buccaneers (saints win by double digits easy!)
very tempting to take the Saints and the 9.5 points. Heading out on the road is not going to make the challenge to succeed any easier for rookie quarterback Jameis Winston. The Tampa Bay defence has to find a way to stop proven star Drew Brees after giving up 42 last week to first-time starter Marcus Mariota. Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan will know he has two rookie offensive linemen to take advantage of, so expect Buccaneers left tackle Donovan Smithand right guard Ali Marpet to be under pressure. The Saints struggled mightily in the red zone against the Cardinals in their opener. I expect that to be corrected this week.
