NFL Week 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs New Orleans Saints(-3.5)

The much-anticipated debut of the newly formed Tampa Bay Buccaneers will happen this Sunday when they take on the New Orleans Saints. Tampa Bay was the most bet Super Bowl-winning team this offseason following the addition of both Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski.

Much like the Cleveland Browns last year, Tampa Bay enters this season as the most over-hyped team. Also like last season with the Browns, I’m not buying it. Tom Brady, now 43-years old, is the best quarterback to ever play the game. Still, trying to get this old dog to learn new tricks isn’t going to be an easy transition, especially the first week of the season. Also, can you really expect and injury-prone Gronk who has taken a year off to come out in NFL condition?

Drew Brees is in his 40s as well but he has been with the same system, players, and coaching staff for years. This is one of the most dangerous offenses in the NFL with the league’s best receiver in Michael Thomas and a top-five back in Alvin Kamara. Don’t forget, the Saints also have one of the league’s most underrated defenses.

While everyone else is racing to the window to put money on Tampa Bay all season, this is one I would sit back on and go the opposite. If Tampa Bay lives up to half of the hype they are getting, it will still take them some time to gel. Brady isn’t a deep-ball passer at this point in his career so connections with Chris Godwin might not be as lethal as some may think.

The Saints are only a 3.5-point favorite thanks to the hype of the public on Tampa Bay. Take advantage and bet on the far better team in a game where they should probably be closer to a full seven-point favorite.

Pick: Saints -3.5
