Saints vs. Buccaneers History

Unlike the past two games, the Saints actually have a massive lead over the Buccaneers in their historical record. In 68 total matchups between the franchises, New Orleans has won 40 times, while Tampa Bay has won only 28. In more recent years, this overall record has not been representative of the results. Looking at the past 10 games, the Buccaneers have beaten the Saints 7 times, and Sunday may be more of the same.

The 2025 Season

From the Saints' side, this season so far has met expectations, but for the Buccaneers, it has been worse than predicted. The injury luck of this team has been horrible, but the departure of former OC Liam Coen (new HC of the Jaguars) has really hurt this offense. QB Baker Mayfield has also really struggled recently, which could be due to the injuries. The top of the NFC South is very close due to Tampa Bay's struggles, and if they lose this game, it could be disastrous for them. The Saints' defense can take advantage of this, but with how New Orleans' offense is playing, this will be a challenging game.

Final Thoughts

The odds of New Orleans winning this game are extremely low, but they still have an opportunity here. If the Saints can win the turnover battle, the offense will have better chances to score, which is what this team needs. Still, given how good the Buccaneers' defense is at forcing turnovers, this is going to be a long shot, and Tampa Bay's defense will be difficult for the Saints to deal with.
