3 Saints vs Buccaneers Prop Picks to Bet on Jan 5
1. Buccaneer QB Baker Mayfield Over 1.5 TD Passes (-179)
So much for the thought that Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Dave Canales leaving to take over as the Carolina Panthers would have an adverse impact on Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield.
Mayfield has more passing yards, passing touchdowns and a higher completion percentage this season despite receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans as well as tight end Cade Otton combining to miss 14 games this season.

There’s a chance that Otton could be back for this game and that is not great news for New Orleans.
There are a lot of ways to go with Mayfield in the NFL Week 18 player prop bets, we’ll go with the -179 odds for Mayfield to go over 1.5 touchdown passes.

2. New Orleans Over 1.5 Field Goals (+120)
When the season began, the New Orleans didn’t anticipate Spencer Rattler as the starting quarterback in Week 17, Clyde Edwards-Helaire leading all New Orleans running backs in carries and the top pass catcher being tight end Juwan Johnson in the loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.
A season that began with the Saints outscoring the Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys by a combined score of 91-29 will end with many of the top offensive players either being ruled out or trending in the wrong direction when it comes to suiting up in the regular-season finale.
New Orleans will need to come away with points in this one and that could result in kicker Blake Grupe being busy. Go with the +120 NFL betting odds for the Saints to go over 1.5 field goals.

3. Buccaneers WR Mike Evans To Have 100+ Receiving Yards and Tampa Bay to Win (-121)
Recent Saints-Buccaneers games had some fans tuning in just in case there were any fireworks between Tampa Bay receiver Mike Evans and New Orleans cornerback Marshon Lattimore.
It might take some searching to find two players who have a more heated individual rivalry than Evans and Lattimore. Well, that is not as issue this weekend as the Saints traded Lattimore to the Washington Commanders.
Evans is 75 yards shy of an unprecedented 11th consecutive 1000-yard receiving season to start a career and without Lattimore out there to frustrate Tampa’s top pass catcher, expect to see the ball coming Evans’ way early and often and that will factor into the Saints vs Buccaneers best bets.
