Bucs have the 5th best 1st half ROI in the NFL this season. The Saints meanwhile are 3-9 ATS against the first half number. The Saints have been good in recent history at covering big numbers against divisional foes here, which is why the first half angle is the better play here.

Keep continuing to fade the Saints early until proven otherwise. We hit this bet last week with Miami and avoided a second-half collapse, so let's run it back. The Saints have been terrible early in games. They've covered only one first quarter all season and now sit 3-9 ATS in the first half, worst in the league, while the Bucs are 8-4 ATS. By contrast, the Saints improve to 8-4 ATS in the second half once they settle in. We already bet Under 43.5 here on the Hot Read, expecting an ugly, low-scoring game, likely featuring wind and rain. Both defenses may have the upper hand here. New Orleans' defense has been surprisingly good of late but rates much worse on the road for the season and significantly worse early in games, bottom 10 by DVOA in the first half versus top-five after halftime. Tampa Bay's offense is finally starting to get healthy with Bucky Irving and Chris Godwin back, and even Mike Evans is practicing now too. This is also a sneaky big game for Tampa since the Bucs badly need an easy division win to stay ahead of Carolina in a tight race. This is also a good spot to back an aggressive Todd Bowles defense at home against rookie Tyler Shough. Bowles is always tough on young QBs, and Alvin Kamara is a big miss here since Tampa Bay is poor against receiving backs and Kamara has been so good against them in his career. The Bucs have beat the Saints six of the last seven times, and this is not one they can overlook. Playing just Tampa Bay first half at -5.5 gets us below the key number and avoids a back door late.
