The New Orleans Saints have been struggling this season and will face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in an NFC South matchup later in the season. These teams played in Week 2 as the Bucs picked up a 20-10 road win.
New Orleans is last in the NFC South with a 4-8 record up to this point and are coming off a 13-0 road loss against the San Francisco 49ers last week. Tampa Bay are now 5-6 so far this season and are coming off a 23-17 overtime road loss against the Cleveland Browns last week.
This will definitely be an interesting game to dive into.

New Orleans Saints vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Parlay Leg #1 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers -3 (-115)
This is not to say that the Buccaneers are a good team, but to say that the Saints are just inferior right now. It feels like the Saints are tanking without owning their own first-round pick and this could be a huge issue.
Looking at the offensive production in the last three games, New Orleans is averaging 12.3 points per game while Tampa Bay are scoring 18 points per game in that same stretch. The Saints have failed to cover in any of their previous five road games this season, so don't expect that to change here either.
New Orleans Saints vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Parlay Leg #2 - Mike Evans Over 60.5 Receiving Yards (-120)
Mike Evans is one of the best wide receivers in the sport and Tom Brady is going to throw the football in his direction and should eclipse this number easily. Looking at the previous five games against one another, the Buccaneers' wide receiver is averaging 10.4 targets per game so he will get the ball thrown his way. The Saints will be without a few starters in their secondary while Marshon Lattimore is listed as questionable.
New Orleans Saints vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Parlay Leg #3 - Alvin Kamara Over 48.5 Rushing Yards (-105)
Alvin Kamara should get more touches in this game as the game script will dictate for it to happen as this should be a close game throughout. Kamara is averaging four yards per carry and just 10.8 rushing attempts in his last five games. This feels like a chance for the Saints to try to balance the playcalling. The total is asking for Kamara to average a little over 12 rushing yards per quarter and that should happen for one of the best running backs in the NFL.
