Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New Orleans Saints Player Props (10/31/21)

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn’t get the memo that they were supposed to have a Super Bowl hangover. The team is currently 6-1 thanks to a recent blowout of the lowly Chicago Bears, and Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady is looking unstoppable well into his 40s. The New Orleans Saints have faced an interesting transition year with the retirement of future Hall-of-Fame quarterback Drew Brees, but have stayed steady with a 4-2 record. The team had a close win on Monday Night Football over the Seattle Seahawks, and a win over the NFL champs would be huge for morale. Here are some player props I’m liking when the Buccaneers come marching in to take on the Saints.

Jameis Winston Over 1.5 Passing TDs

The old gunslinging Jameis Winston doesn’t seem to be around anymore. The days of throwing three touchdowns and three picks per game seem to be over for the former number one overall pick. However, while he’s been limiting his turnovers, he’s still capable of throwing numerous TDs. He’s had three games with multiple touchdowns through the air this year and has a great opportunity to do it again against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs are allowing 264.7 passing yards per game, and Winston should be able to find the end zone as the Saints try to keep up with the Super Bowl champions.

Tom Brady Over 0.5 INTs

A negative bet on Tom Brady?! OK, I’m not saying it’s a guarantee, but the Saints should be able to pick off the future Hall of Famer at least once. The Saints have nine interceptions so far this year, and they’ll be hungry for more in this divisional matchup. Yes, Brady only has three picks this year, but considering how often the team airs it out, I don’t think he’s going to be able to avoid an interception against this ball-hawking defense. Put a little sprinkle on the GOAT to throw a pick.

Leonard Fournette Under 56.5 Rushing Yards

It’s tough to get a read on Leonard Fournette’s role with the Bucs. Sometimes, they’ll use him to great effect, such as the 81-yard two-TD performance against the Philadelphia Eagles. But then he’ll have days when the team forgets he exists, such as against the Los Angeles Rams when he got a total of four attempts. They’ve been using him more often the past three weeks, but the New Orleans defense is stingy against the run, only allowing 80.8 yards on the ground per game.

Alvin Kamara Over 45.5 Receiving Yards

Jameis Winston found out on Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks that Alvin Kamara is a capable receiver. The Saints running back totaled 128 yards and a TD during the primetime matchup, and something tells me Winston will start to lean more on his versatile back in the passing game. With Michael Thomas still injured, Kamara will have plenty of opportunities to contribute through the air. Against a weakened Tampa Bay secondary, Kamara should cruise.
