The Superdome will be loud this Sunday, but it won't be due to a lot of points being put up when the Buccaneers visit the Saints.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter this game with a 0-3 record to begin their 2006 campaign, scoring an average of just 9 PPG on offense.
With QB Chris Simms out after suffering a ruptured spleen in the Bucs’ Week 3 loss to the Panthers, things look bleak at best. Simms will be replaced by a rookie QB Bruce Gradowksi, which is not a good omen for a struggling Bucs team that has been unable to move the ball through the air or run the ball effectively this season.
The New Orleans Saints have also been less than stellar offensively despite all the hype surrounding USC star RB Reggie Bush who has failed to score a TD this season and is averaging 40 YPG on 3.3 YPC.
Final Notes & Trends: New Orleans has gone under in 13 of their last 17 against NFC South opposition. The under is 5-1 in the last six meetings between these two teams.
