Last season, the New Orleans Saints accomplished something no team in NFL history previously achieved against Tom Brady. They beat him twice during the same regular season.

If they want to make it three in a row, it will be former Bucs QB Jameis Winston who must beat Brady. The latter threw for his NFL-record 600th TD past week.

The 6-1 Buccaneers are the 5-point road favorites over the 4-2 Saints in the NFL picks.

Check out the latest Buccaneers vs. Saints odds ahead of the matchup in Week 8.

Buccaneers vs. Saints Key Matchups

Tampa Bay Defense vs. Alvin Kamara: NFL betting sites wouldn’t have factored this one into their player props. Saints RB Kamara went over eight receptions and 100 receiving yards in the first half of Monday’s game. No NFL back had done that since 2004. No player in the league can beat an opponent in more ways than Kamara.

Brady vs. Saints Pass Defense: Buccaneers QB Brady has thrown for 4+ TDs in 37 career games, tied for the most in the NFL since 1950 with ex-Saints QB Drew Brees. New Orleans is second in the NFL with nine interceptions.

Brady vs Winston: It’s Brady against the guy he replaced as QB1 for the Buccaneers. Will Winston gain extra motivation from the chance to outplay the legend? Brady is 1-0 vs Winston. His Patriots beat Winston’s Bucs 19-14 in Week 5 of the 2017 season.

Buccaneers vs. Saints Key Point Spread

Since Brady became Tampa Bay’s QB last season, no NFL team has covered the spread more often as the away team than the Buccaneers. They are 11-3 ATS on the road in NFL spreads and 9-2 ATS at sportsbooks as the road chalk.

On the other hand, the Bucs are 1-5 ATS in their last six visits to the Big Easy. New Orleans is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games against an opponent from the NFC South. The Saints are also 5-3 ATS as a home underdog since 2014. That 62.5% success rate is No. 2 in the NFL over that span. Take the +5 at BetMGM (-110) and go with the Saints.
