Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers got their season off to a perfect start as they thumped the Dallas Cowboys 19-3 at the AT&T stadium.

RB Leonard Fournette ran for 127 yards and a rock-solid Buccaneers defense tied the Cowboys down to a 3-of-15 mark on 3rd down conversions and 244 total yards.
The Saints, on the other hand, started their season against the Atlanta Falcons. The Saints were down 26-10 with 12:41 remaining on the clock. QB Jameis Winston and WR Michael Thomas hooked up for 2 touchdowns during the 4th-quarter rally to win the game by a single point. The game ended 27-26 in favor of the Saints.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs New Orleans Saints – Predictions
Final Score Prediction: Bucs: 25 | Saints: 10
The Buccaneers put on a good display in their first game week. New Recruit Julio Jones seems to have already matched wavelengths with Tom Brady as they combined for a few good passes during the game. Mike Evans picked up where he left off last season and continues to be one of Brady’s most trusted ball carriers.

The Saints have an extremely leaky defense and against the likes of Evans, Brady, Fournette and Jones it will be put to the test. Given the recent form they’re in and their first week displays, the Bucs should be able to secure a win over the Saints to make it a 2-0 start to the season.
