Week 16: at New Orleans Saints

Just two weeks removed from playing the Saints they again square off towards the end of the season. This matchup falls on Christmas Eve and it’s not going to be a present for either team. Both teams are most likely out of the playoffs at this point so it may be a battle of who wants a better draft pick.

The Bucs may want to consider tanking at this point if they are really in rebuilding mode. They need to get the best players they can and I like to believe that they know that. Winning a road game at the end of the season does not help your team get better in the long run. With the home field advantage on their side the Saints pull away in this sloppy victory, 27-21. (5-10)

Fans might not like that, but in the end it won’t be such a bad thing.
