Tampa Bay at New Orleans

Premium Pick

Chris Simms finally gets the startging call for Tampa Bay. The Bucs are struggling big-time but I don't think they are as bad as their record indicates. Their losses have been close (average of less than 6 points). Their defense is still solid (ranked 6th) and on Sunday they get a very pourous New Orleans defense that ranks second-to-last in the league. What Tampa needs is a kick in the ass / fresh start and Simms can provide that spark. Playing on the road will actually be a benefit right now for the Bucs. Visiting dogs of less than 13.5 with a terrible record when playing a turf-team with a sub-.500 record cover the spread nearly three quarters of the time. Tampa keeps it close here.

4 units on Tampa Bay +3 (-110) (risk 4 to return 7.64)
