Taysom Hill Under 213.5 passing yards (-115)

"Hill will be missing three key pieces to success for this game: both starting offensive tackles and Sean Payton, who will miss this game due to COVID protocols. With no Payton, will the Saints be able to get the most out of the dual-threat quarterback one week after he focused primarily on running the ball against a bad Jets defense? While NFL teams tend to avoid handing the ball off to running backs while facing the Bucs, rushing QBs have had more success, and that's where the Saints will likely focus the running attack. I don't expect a ton from the passing game, however, and I'd be surprised if Hill got over this number since he likely won't have much time to throw the ball."

Tom Brady Over 27.5 completions (+100)

"Brady has hit 30 completions in three of his last four games, with the only outlier coming against a Colts team that allowed Leonard Fournette to rush for 100 yards on 17 carries. But Fournette is no lock to play this week, garnering a questionable tag after managing a limited practice on Friday. If Fournette is out or limited, more of the burden of the offense should fall on Brady's shoulders rather than give Ronald Jones a significant role running the ball against the team that ranks No. 1 in yards per rush allowed. Even in a gamescript when the Bucs roll, which would be a little surprising considering recent history between these teams, Brady could still get to 40 pass attempts against this defense, and I think he's at least 50/50 to turn that into 28 completions."

Chris Godwin Over 76.5 receiving yards (-110)

"Godwin has been the focal point of the passing attack over the last two weeks, following up a 15-catch game against the Falcons with another 15 targets against the Bills. He topped 100 yards in both games, as he should if he's seeing that many targets in a game. While we're being treated to the latest chapter in the Marshon Lattimore vs. Mike Evans saga, Godwin should be racking up target after target en route to a third straight big performance. His reception total of 7.5 with plus odds is interesting, but I have more faith in topping this yardage total, so let's go in that direction."
