Week 14: vs New Orleans Saints
This is the first meeting of the year against a division rival this late in the season, which is a little odd. The New Orleans Saints seem to have bounced back after the 0-3 start by winning four of the next five games. The games they’ve lost have been very close, losing all but one by less than seven points.
The Saints have a tough stretch ahead of them and that will determine if they are in the hunt or not. The Saints defense is still really bad and the Bucs are going to be desperate for a home win too.
In this one, Winston matches Drew Brees all game long. It’s a high scoring affair and the Bucs manage to pull off a win in a shootout, 42-41. (5-8)
