The New Orleans Saints offense vs the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense also favor the Saints. The Saints are 6th in yards and 10th in points, while the Buccaneers are 15th in yards allowed and 12th in points allowed. The Saints shouldn't have a problem with this defense. The Saints will be running the ball against this poor 28th ranked rushing defense, which will set up the great passing game that the Saints have. The Buccaneers do get interceptions, but they do not get to the quarterback. NFL expert predictions advantage goes to the Saints. The special teams favor the Buccaneers. The Buccaneers are 11th in kickoff return average but 30th in punt return average, while the Saints are 16th in kickoff return average and 22nd in punt return average. The Buccaneers are 7th in kickoff return average allowed and 6th in punt return average allowed, while the Saints are 19th in kickoff return average allowed and 28th in punt return average allowed. The Buccaneers are very good in special team's defense and will make sure the Saints don't do anything on special teams. NFL week 17 expert predictions advantage goes to the Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers have a young coach in Raheem Morris, who has this team motivated. I guess a young coach and young players is a very good match. Saints head coach Sean Payton has his team clicking at the right time. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has done a great job with this defense. Also, it does help when you have a coach on the field as well, and that's what Drew Brees is. The advantage goes to the Saints because of Drew Brees. My NFL week 17 expert predictions on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs New Orleans Saints Sunday afternoon football game is out. The Saints now have their star running back from an injury, and now they will use him a lot this game against a poor rushing defense. For some reason the Saints give up interceptions, and if they decide to throw the ball too many times, the Buccaneers will capitalize on that. But the Saints are too smart to do that, so I see them running the ball and then doing play action. The Buccaneers will no question be running the ball a lot. The Saints will be putting everyone in the box to try and stop the running game. It will be up to the Buccaneers quarterback to make plays in the passing game to keep the Saints from putting everyone in the box to stop the run. I do believe that the Buccaneers can do this and will do well enough to stay in the game, but the Saints are playing very well now and will win this game. The Buccaneers keep it close, but the Saints win this game 27-23. --- by Eric Price at 1800-sports.com on December 29, 2010
