Last December, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints played a tight, low-scoring game at Raymond James Stadium, won by the home team. Two weeks later, the two teams reconvened in the Superdome in New Orleans for what would prove to be more of a shootout, this one also won by the home team.
Through the first eight weeks of the 2017 season, Tampa Bay's number-four offense and New Orleans' number-20 defense are both ranked higher than has been the norm in recent seasons. So given last year's results and this year's developments, should we expect a slugfest or a score-fest when the Bucs and Saints finally get together this Sunday in New Orleans?
