Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Rachaad White / Over 65.5 Rushing Yards / -110 / 68% / White leads Buccaneers in carries per game (18.2 avg) against a Saints run defense allowing 4.8 yards per carry this season; with Irving sidelined, his workload increases in a favorable home matchup with solid offensive line support.
Player Prop #2: Chris Olave / Over 72.5 Receiving Yards / -115 / 62% / Olave averages 78.4 yards per game and faces a depleted Buccaneers secondary; Saints’ passing attack exploits Tampa’s 68% completion rate allowed to WR1s, boosting his targets in a catch-up scenario.
Player Prop #3: Baker Mayfield / Under 1.5 Interceptions / -130 / 75% / Mayfield’s low turnover rate (1.1 INT per game) persists at home, where he benefits from Saints’ aggressive blitz scheme that he’s handled efficiently (0.8 INT avg vs similar defenses this season).

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors the Buccaneers, aligning with sharp money and simulation metrics that highlight Tampa Bay’s defensive edge and home dominance. Following the public is optimal here, as reverse line movement is absent and EV supports the favorite without overvaluation from hype. Overall game scoring outlook points to a moderate total, with injuries curbing both offenses but Buccaneers’ run game providing balance against a Saints unit vulnerable to ground control.
