jb 3.0 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Normally, I'd easily be picking the Saints in this one. But, since your defense has pretty much fallen off a cliff, and Freeman looked like he may have found his MoJo last Sunday while our defense seems to be getting better each week....I'm saying:BUCS 27Saints 17This is not to say I believe the BUCS are back! Far from it actually. Until Freeman gains some sort of consistency, we can never be counted on to win a game. I'm simply believing he may just be able to build on last weeks success.

falconidae Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 May really depend on who is healthy. Nicks was limited in practice, so was Evans, Graham didn't practice.If Nicks couldn't go, Bucs would be down 2 Oline starters [3?] , Evans would be a huge loss for the Saints, Graham as well obviously.

big_D Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I have to go with the Saint's and a score of 24-17. Brees gets it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO WAY does he miss this game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT IF FREEMANSTAGGERS, ALL BETS ARE OFF. THE BUC "D" MAY BE THEKEY TO VICTORY. BUT I THINK THIS WILL BE ONE OF SUNDAYSBETTER GAMES. HAVE AT IT SAINTS & BUCS.

meezy0236 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm going to say 20-17 Saints, for no other reason than they need this game desperately. Graham is playing according to PFT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRay Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I haven't lost all faith yet in this years team, but I actually view this game as the game that either turns the season around or they mail it in the rest of the way.I say this because they are coming off a victory and the bye week. Win and they make a run, loss and they sink.Saints by 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I think the Saints barely gets this one, but I can also see it going the other way if the defense comes out flat like the other games, and the offense can't move the ball.

A HARD FIGHT.Bress is the man that's for sure. But we've beaten them at least once every season I believe and the Bucs usually play well against the NFCS. The Bucs need the W more than the Saints due to the fact that the Bucs franchise need a major turn around. They'll get it this Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Bucs play the Saints harder than any other team usually. But the Saints have hung in every game this year. I dont think the bucs can put them away. Good game but Saints take over in the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then it would about kills the Bucs hope of the miracle turn around season as well and a shot at the WC.http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2012102103/2012/REG7/saints@buccaneers#menu=gameinfo&tab=preview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
