Take New Orleans Giving up 4 Points
The New Orleans Saints were shelled by the Indianapolis Colts 41-10 in their opening game. Despite the result of that game, there were two positives to take away from that game: (1) they already played the best team in the NFL - it only gets easier from here and (2) they received two extra days of rest thanks to playing on Thursday. The Saints travel to Tampa Bay this afternoon, where they are 4 point favorites against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If the game last week against Indy had been closer, this line would certainly be much greater than a measly 4 points. I still believe New Orleans is a playoff team and the line “appears” very low here. Tampa Bay hasn’t proven anything yet and showed nothing in last week’s 14 point loss to Seattle. Look for a Saints bounce-back this week and take New Orleans -4.
