T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cover the spread against the New Orleans Saints in this game on Sunday. The Bucs have been playing very well lately and have won their last 3 games by 6+ points each. Their offense destroyed the Bears and their great defense by putting up 38 points against them. Their defense flipped the script in that game and only gave up 3 points to the Bears offense. The Bucs defense has played much better in their last 4 games and has only given up 20+ points on 1 occasion during those 4 games and that was a late comeback that they slipped up a bit in. The Saints have been up and down all year and just played a game that they won by only putting up 13 points. That was against the Seahawks who are missing their starting QB and I'm sure that game has a different outcome if Russell Wilson plays in it. The Bucs have some of the best talent in the league on their offense and the Saints are not going to be able to win this game by only putting up 13 points. Seattle also has 1 of the worst defenses in the league so that 13 points just looks pathetic by the Saints. Tom Brady sees the variety of NFC teams who all have just the 1 loss and he knows that they can't afford another loss as it will be too important at the end of the year. I think he has his eyes set on this game and will put on a very good show for everyone here. I like the Bucs to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Buccaneers.
