Saints vs Buccaneers winners picks for Monday Night Football Week 13

Dec 5, 2022 - 9:00 PM

The conclusion to Week 13 of the NFL season features an NFC South showdown between the New Orleans Saints and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The division is the only one in the league without a team over .500, with the Buccaneers leading the way at 5-6 this season. The Saints are in the basement of the division, but they are there with a 4-8 record and could move to second place with a win tonight.

The Buccaneers leading the NFC South but still sitting below .500 could make the NFC playoff picture awkward. The winner of the division hosts a wild card game, meaning the Buccaneers (or whoever wins the NFC South) could be below .500 but hosting the Dallas Cowboys, who are currently six games over .500.

Tonight’s game will air on ESPN. The Manning-cast returns this week on ESPN2.
