3 Saints vs Buccaneers Parlay Picks
1. Tampa Bay to Score on First Drive
The Saints have allowed their opponents to score on their opening drive of the game in each of the last three games. Now the Saints will be facing one of the hottest quarterbacks in the NFL. Tampa Bay’s Baker Mayfield has thrown 11 touchdown passes with two interceptions over the last three games.

Per Saints vs Buccaneers stats, veteran receiver Mike Evans needs 75 receiving yards to make it 11 consecutive 1000-yard seasons to begin his career. Without cornerback Marshon Lattimore around to frustrate Evans, the Buccaneers could get into the scoring act early in this one.
When looking at the Saints vs Buccaneers best bets, take the +100 odds for Tampa Bay to score on its first drive.
PARLAY PICK: Buccaneers To Score On First Drive (+100)
2. Saints to Go Over 1.5 Touchdowns (-105)
It has been a tough stretch for the Saints with one offensive touchdown scored in the last two games. The fact that New Orleans has been without its starting quarterback (Derek Carr), top running back (Alvin Kamara) and No. 1 pass catcher (Chris Olave) might have something to do with that.
The Saints would love nothing better than to play the role of spoiler in this one and deny the Buccaneers the opportunity to celebrate as NFC South Division champions.
Tampa Bay is not exactly an elite defensive team so when making Week 18 NFL picks, take the -105 odds for New Orleans to go over 1.5 touchdowns.

3. Saints-Buccaneers Game To Land Over 43.5 (-110)
The 43.5-point total looks to be a little on the low side considering that the Saints rank 30th out of 32 NFL teams in total defense and rushing yards heading into the matchup with one of the best offensive teams in the NFL.
The Buccaneers have had issues defending the pass, although it remains to be seen if the injury-plagued Saints can capitalize on Tampa Bay’s leaky secondary.
Don’t expect 78 points to be scored, as was the case in the first meeting of the season between the teams. However, Tampa Bay will be ready to fire the cannons and play their way into the playoffs on Sunday.
An NFL expert pick to consider is for the game to go over 43.5 points.
PARLAY PICK: Saints-Buccaneers Over 43.5 (-110)
