The Buccaneers and Saints are putting the finishing touches on Week 13 in the NFL, as these two NFC South rivals are duking it out on “Monday Night Football” at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. 

This is the second and final matchup between these division foes this season, and this prime-time matchup could have serious implications to the overall playoff picture in the NFC. Despite both coming in under .500, Tampa Bay sits atop the division at 5-6, but the Saints (4-8), and moreover the Atlanta Falcons (5-8) are very much still in play for the NFC South crown. A win on Monday would give Tampa Bay some much-needed breathing room before the final leg of the regular season. 

New Orleans has been a thorn in Brady’s side since he’s arrived in Tampa Bay, however, as he is 2-4 against the Saints since joining the Bucs. That said, Andy Dalton has historically struggled under the prime-time lights (6-20 in his career), so something will need to give.
