After a quiet rookie campaign while learning a new position, much bigger things are expected from New Orleans LB Zack Baun as he enters his second NFL season.
New Orleans would have missed on a great pass protector for Drew Brees in Terron Armstead if they were not open to develop an HBCU player. Fortunately the NFL and Reese s Senior Bowl will open more opportunities to HBCU players.
Week 15: New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Bucs
(-7, 52) (-3.5, 46.5) (MNF)
(-6.5, 48) (NFC South) (-1, 48) (NFC South)
A couple of surprises were the Week 8 (Tampa Bay) and Week 18 (at Atlanta) games, where the Saints are the underdogs to NFC South rivals.
I project the Bucs and Saints will split games and avoid being swept by Tompa Bay during the regular season.
On the road in Atlanta can be a challenging game, but how can the Saints be counted as an underdog unless they have wrapped up the division or have nothing to play for until the 2022 regular season.
Thanksgiving at home against the Bills is another questionable call by the bookies.
