This game definitely has more meaning for the Buccaneers than it does for the Saints, however don’t expect New Orleans to just come out lazy. This is a divisional game where pride is on the line, no matter what each team’s records are.

Tampa Bay was able to knock off the Saints a few weeks ago, therefore Sheldon Rankins and the New Orleans defense will be looking for revenge against former Heisman winner Jameis Winston.

It’s extremely difficult to go into New Orleans and pick up a win. Their fans are committed to their Saints and will have that dome rocking on Saturday afternoon.

I expect New Orleans to pull off the upset on Christmas Eve.

Next: Steelers vs. Ravens
