Bet on football favors the unbeaten New Orleans Saints on the road as they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs have played much better the past two weeks with Josh Freeman at quarterback so this may not be the easy NFL betting win for the Saints it would have been weeks ago.
Bet on football has seen the Bucs cover their last two games as two weeks ago they actually beat Green Bay outright and last week they nearly beat Miami before losing 25-23. The Saints have looked vulnerable the past few weeks but they are still double-digit bet on football favorites in this game against the Bucs. New Orleans won and covered the NFL betting pointspread in their first six games this season. They have won their last three games straight up but have failed to cover the bet on football number each time.
New Orleans leads the league in scoring and that could be the difference in this game. The Bucs have shown the ability with Freeman to be competitive though so the game could be interesting. “I think he showed a lot of his composure and character,” said center Jeff Faine, “and I keep looking to see bigger and bigger things from him.”
New Orleans has been a very good team on the road for those that bet on football, and the Bucs still have a lot of work to do as the season is half-way done.
The Saints are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite.

Four of the last five Tampa Bay games have gone over the NFL betting total.
