The total for the game is 54 points. Tampa Bay has come in under that number in nine of their 13 games, while the Saints have combined with opponents to score less than 54 points seven times. Both teams have gone over the total eight times this season, with New Orleans coming in under five times and Tampa Bay hitting the under four times and tying it once.
Drew Brees couldn't get much done against the New York Giants last week, but he's likely to have a better game against the last-ranked pass defense of the Bucs. Tampa Bay is giving up an average of 311.6 yards per game through the air, worst in the league. 2012's earlier meeting between the two teams was a 35-28 victory for New Orleans.
