It is hard to know why we’re even playing the Buccaneers vs. Saints game in the Divisional Round. It’s been said that it’s hard to beat a team three times in the same season. So that means that Tampa Bay is advancing, right? At least that’s what the talking heads and the pearl-clutchers will tell you.

When it comes right down to it, maybe one team is just better than the other. Maybe it takes a third data point to prove that the Saints are, in fact, the better team. We’ll see what happens on Sunday night and if Drew Brees advances to the NFC Championship Game for the fourth time in his career or if Tom Brady will head to his first.

The Saints are -3 with extra juice across most of the market, including <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a>. The total sits at 52 for Sunday’s “chase game” that will get a ton of action on both sides from bettors that have a position, are betting because it’s a playoff game, or because they’ve had a good or bad weekend and will try to add to their wins or recover their losses.
<h3><strong><u>Tampa</u></strong><strong><u> Bay</u></strong><strong><u> Buccaneers</u></strong></h3>
We’ll go ahead and start with this. The Buccaneers have beaten one playoff team this season in six tries. That was the Green Bay Packers in a game that was an outlier for both teams all the way back in mid-October. Otherwise, the Buccaneers lost to the Saints twice, the Bears, the Rams, and the Chiefs. The Rams and Chiefs games were close on the scoreboard, but not in the box score.

Los Angeles outgained Tampa Bay 413-251 in the 27-24 final and the Chiefs racked up 543 yards, but left points on the field in that 27-24 final. I guess it’s worth pointing out that Tampa Bay did beat the Washington Football Team to advance to this point, but that was a playoff team with a losing record and it was a bit of a struggle.

Many are excited about how Tom Brady has played since the Week 13 bye. Brady went into last week’s game with a 12/1 TD/INT ratio and a 69.1% completion percentage with 11.24 adjusted net yards per pass attempt in the four wins over Minnesota, Atlanta twice, and Detroit. Against a strong Washington defense, Brady kept moving forward with 381 yards on just 22 completions and a couple of touchdown passes.

Brady now faces a New Orleans defense that made life miserable for him. In two games against the Saints, Brady was sacked six times with a 2/5 TD/INT ratio. He completed 45-of-74 passes and struggled to generate any big plays. The Buccaneers offense has been a lot better since the last meeting in Week 9, but the Saints undoubtedly have a formidable defense.

The Buccaneers defense did a good job against the Saints in Week 1, holding New Orleans to just 4.1 yards per play. The Saints had 5.8 yards per play in the second meeting. The Buccaneers defense feasted on bad teams and struggled mightily with good teams, as evidenced by the lack of success against playoff teams. We’ll have to see what adjustments are made to try and slow down the Saints here.

<h3><strong><u>New Orleans</u></strong><strong><u> Saints</u></strong></h3>
New Orleans will need a better offensive performance than what we saw last week against the Bears. The Saints had 5.1 yards per play and really didn’t showcase much on offense in the game. In fairness, they didn’t really have to, as the defense had a suffocating performance and the outcome was never really in doubt.

The Saints kept Drew Brees upright last week, as he threw for 265 yards and a couple of scores. The running game for the Saints struggled to get going, but with Alvin Kamara and others fresh off of the COVID list, it was an understandably slow performance. Kamara had 99 yards on 23 attempts. The Bears seemed committed to keeping everything in front of them and to make Brees take some deep shots, but the Saints were undeterred, took what the Bears gave them, and won the game to advance.

For all the talk about the Buccaneers and their struggles with playoff teams, the Saints beat the Bucs twice, but also lost to the Packers, barely beat the Bears in overtime, and lost to the Chiefs in a game where they were badly outgained. New Orleans wound up somehow playing a weaker schedule than the Buccaneers. We can poke holes in every team and every game, but it does feel as though the Saints are getting something of a pass for their schedule and how they did with the better teams.

Defensively, the Saints do shine and have shined for a while. Opponents only averaged five yards per play during the season and New Orleans had 26 takeaways. That ranked third in the NFL. This was a top-10 defense on the third, but if there is a potential problem area, it would be in the red zone, where the Saints ranked 29th with a RZ TD% against of 68%. The difference is that the Saints offense had 18 more red zone trips than the opposition to bail the defense out in that regard.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
This will be one of the most talked about games of the weekend because of all the storylines. Brady vs. Brees, who is said to be retiring after the season. Third game. Saints are 2-0 against the Buccaneers. It’s the only game featuring division rivals this weekend. Lots of talk.

The -3 line looks about right. What I don’t understand is the high total. The Saints have played some high-scoring games lately and the Buccaneers offense has put up a lot of points. These are two teams that have good defenses and good offenses, but they are very similar in a lot of ways. Big plays don’t come from the arm talent of the two QBs. They come from catch-and-run situations. Both defenses limited big plays and shouldn’t allow many here.

Under 52 is the look for me. There is a lot of familiarity here and I would expect a tight game with a lot of movement between the 20s.
<h4><strong>Pick: Under 52</strong></h4>

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New Orleans Saints Divisional Round Free Pick, Odds, & Prediction 1/17/21

The UFC returns this week and will do so on basic network TV for the first time in more than two years. UFC on ABC 1 will feature a main event between Max Holloway and Calvin Kattar in the first UFC event to be televised on ABC.

This will also be another first for UFC, as the event will christen the brand new Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on Yas Island. The event is also expected to have about 2,000 fight fans, making it the first event since March to have spectators.

Naturally, there have been bumps in the road for this fight card. Brian Kelleher tested positive for COVID on January 1, taking away the Ricky Simon vs. Kelleher fight. Bethe Correia had to have her appendix out, so that fight against Wu Yanan was changed. Muslim Salikhov is not fully recovered from his COVID-19 bout, so his fight against Santiago Ponzinibbio now features Li Jingliang.

Those aren’t the only adjustments made to this card, but the UFC has been trying to build up some of its pay-per-view cards by rescheduling a lot of matches and this card has been the victim of that.

Nevertheless, UFC is back and we have a lot to discuss for UFC on ABC 1. We’ll do so with odds from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a>.
<h3><strong><u>Jacob Kilburn (+185) vs. Austin Lingo (-220); Total: 2.5 (-130/110)</u></strong></h3>
This is a midday start time at 12 p.m. ET in the United States with the opening fight between Jacob Kilburn and Austin Lingo. Both featherweights lost their UFC debuts. Kilburn is actually 0-2 with a Dana White Contender Series loss in 2018 and then a loss to Billy Quarantino by submission on December 7, 2019. Lingo, who was undefeated prior to his loss to Youssef Zalal in February at UFC 247, is the heavy favorite based on what he did as a member of LFA. Kilburn is only 25, so there is hope for his future, but his present looks iffy, as Lingo has a better resume to this point.
<h3><strong><u>Vanessa Melo (+185) vs. Sarah Moras (-220); Total: 2.5 (-360/285)</u></strong></h3>
Sarah Moras will look to get back to .500 in this matchup with Vanessa Melo. Moras fell to Sijara Eubanks in May for her fourth loss in five fights to drop to 6-7. It is fair to wonder how long she will continue to be on the UFC roster, though she did survive the purge of aging, underperforming fighters to this point. Moras has a little bit of a height and size advantage here over Melo, who has dropped three straight fights herself. Melo is winless in UFC and she, too, may be on her way out. This is a backs-against-the-wall fight for both women, but it is impossible to invest in either one right now.
<h3><strong><u>David Zawada (+215) vs. Ramazan Emeev (-255); Total: 2.5 (-205/165)</u></strong></h3>
Ramazan Emeev is a big favorite over David Zawada at 170 pounds in the first of three welterweight fights scheduled for the card. Zawada is shaking off 14 months of cage rust in this one following a win over Abubakar Nurmagomedov in November 2019. It was his first UFC win after losses to Danny Roberts and Li Jingliang. Emeev’s win over Niklas Stolze back in July was his fourth in five fights. The former M-1 champ certainly appears to have the upper hand here, as the line implies. Emeev might be a good money line parlay piece with another fighter down the card or you can lay the straight price. Emeev has gone the distance in those four wins and Zawada isn’t a guy that has been tasked with going deep into the third round often. I think that’s the deciding factor.
<h3><strong><u>Justin Tafa (+155) vs. Carlos Felipe (-180); Total: 1.5 (-185/155)</u></strong></h3>
The lone heavyweight fight on the card features Justin Tafa as a +155 underdog against Carlos Felipe. The -180 favorite had a very impressive performance against Yorgan De Castro to bounce back from his first career loss in July to Sergey Spivak. De Castro is thought to be a decent heavyweight prospect, but Felipe clearly won the fight. Tafa, meanwhile, was knocked out in the first round by De Castro in his UFC debut on October 5, 2019. Tafa beat Juan Adams last February, but Adams is a well below average fighter. These are contrasting styles, as Tafa’s two UFC fights have ended in the first round and both of Felipe’s have gone 15 minutes. Felipe likely wears down his opponent here, but this is a tough fight to bet.
<h3><strong><u>Omari Akhmedov (+130) vs. Tom Breese (-150); Total: 2.5 (-160/130)</u></strong></h3>
This should be a good middleweight battle between Omari Akhmedov and Tom Breese. Breese has the size advantage here and Akhmedov is coming off of his first loss in more than four years to Chris Weidman. Each of the last seven fights for Akhmedov has gone the distance so the -160 on the over could be a good value buy. On the other hand, each of the last three fights for Breese has ended in a first-round knockout. This is a step up in class from those other opponents, though. Breese could really be tested here. He knocked out KB Bhullar in the Canadian’s first UFC fight and Breese was getting beaten up badly by Brendan Allen before catching a couple openings. I like the underdog here in Akhmedov at +130.
<h3><strong><u>Joselyne Edwards (+120) vs. Wu Yanan (-140); Total: 2.5 (-265/205)</u></strong></h3>
Joselyne Edwards slots in as a replacement for Bethe Correia in this match against Wu Yanan. Even though this is the UFC debut for Edwards, who only has one data point in LFA, the 25-year-old Panama native is getting a lot of respect in this line. It took 28 seconds to secure a knockout win in her last fight in UWC. Wu Yanan is only 1-2 in the UFC and she hasn’t fought since August 31, 2019. There are better fights to bet on this card, but the respect for Edwards is an interesting context clue.
<h3><strong><u>Nassourdine Imavov (+120) vs. Phil Hawes (-140); Total: 1.5 (-135/105)</u></strong></h3>
You probably missed it, but Nassourdine Imavov did make his UFC debut last October with a win over Jordan Williams. It wasn’t the best of fights, as Imavov struggled with takedowns and couldn’t lock in a submission attempt, but he was the more active fighter and landed double the significant strikes of Williams. It took Hawes 18 seconds to knock out Jacob Malkoun in October after a huge knockout of Khadzhi Bestaev on the Dana White Contender Series in September. Imavov seems to have a stronger ground game, but the violence in Hawes’s strikes seems to give him the edge here at -140. This should be a fascinating fight...for however long it actually lasts.

<h3><strong><u>Punahele Soriano (+137) vs. Dusko Todorovic (-157); Total: 1.5 (-165/135)</u></strong></h3>
Punahele Soriano will be back in the Octagon for the first time in 13 months in this matchup with Dusko Todorovic. Soriano impressed Dana White with a unanimous decision win over Jamie Pickett and followed that up with a first-round knockout of Oskar Piechota. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen him since, so it’s hard to know where he stands going into this bout.

Like Soriano, who is 7-0, Todorovic puts a perfect record on the line here at 10-0. We did see him when he knocked out Dequan Townsend on October 3. He, too, secured a contract from a decision win on DWTNCS. This is a tough fight. Neither fighter has a loss. Soriano has six stoppage wins, including two tapouts. Todorovic has nine, including three tapouts. These are two skilled fighters with versatility to their respective games. Both fighters have only gone into the third round once. Maybe we should just take the under and expect a quick finish.
<h4><strong>Pick: Under 1.5</strong></h4>
<h3><strong><u>Alessio Di Chirico (+220) vs. Joaquin Buckley (-260); Total: 2.5 (-105/-125)</u></strong></h3>
That money line parlay piece with Emeev could very well be in this fight in Joaquin Buckley. Buckley’s stock is skyrocketing and the opposite is the case for Alessio Di Chirico. Di Chirico was a promising prospect a few years ago, but he’s lost three straight fights to sit at 3-5 in the UFC. Di Chirico even barely beat Julian Marquez in his most recent win.

Buckley’s only loss came against Kevin Holland last August and there is no shame in that whatsoever. He was also very active in 2020 with four fights, including a very impressive win over Impa Kasanganay. As far as middleweight prospects go, even though Buckley has three losses to his name already, he’s one of the stronger ones that the promotion has to offer. He avenged one of his Bellator losses in LFA right before he got his UFC shot. He’s a very promising young fighter and one that is set up to bank another win here.
<h4><strong>Pick: Joaquin Buckley</strong></h4>
<h3><strong><u>Li Jingliang (+245) vs. Santiago Ponzinibbio (-285); Total: 1.5 (-210/170)</u></strong></h3>
Li Jingliang slots in as the late replacement for Muslim Salikhov in this welterweight matchup at 170 pounds. We haven’t seen Santiago Ponzinibbio in a long time, but he is still listed as an overwhelming favorite in this fight. Ponzinibbio was last in the UFC Octagon on November 17, 2018. He fought three times in 2017, but only once in 2018. The now 34-year-old has had a very impressive career and has won seven fights in a row, including two Performance of the Night bonuses.

It is still hard to lay a price like this. He’s more than two years older than the last time we saw him. The gas tank could be a little shallower. The speed could be a little tempered. It’s not like Jingliang is very as a speedster and his recent returns have been shaky, as he’s needed late third-round knockouts in two of his last three fights and got beaten up pretty good by Neal Magny last time out. Ponzinibbio by default, but not a fight I’d look to bet.
<h4><strong>Pick: Santiago Ponzinibbio</strong></h4>
<h3><strong><u>Matt Brown (+144) vs. Carlos Condit (-164); Total: 2.5 (-120/-110)</u></strong></h3>
The UFC will pay homage to 2016 with this fight between Matt Brown and Carlos Condit. Condit beat Court McGee last time out to end a five-fight losing streak. He’s only 36, but he might as well be 46 in fight years with 44 pro bouts to his name. Condit draws 40-year-old Matt Brown for the first time in his career. Brown fought back in May and lost to Miguel Baeza, getting knocked out for just the third time in his tenured career.

These are two big names from the sport and guys that have contributed a lot to what UFC has become. They’re also not in peak shape anymore and this is a fight that has very little to offer other than name value. I’m not even sure betting on this one is worth it, but Brown might be a live dog here, simply by virtue of not having lost eight of his last 11 fights.
<h4><strong>Pick: Matt Brown</strong></h4>
<h3><strong><u>Calvin Kattar (+138) vs. Max Holloway (-158); Total: 4.5 (-175/145)</u></strong></h3>
At least the main event looks like a great scrap. Max Holloway will face somebody other than Alexander Volkanovski for the first time in a year and a half when he squares off with Calvin Kattar. Holloway lost by unanimous decision and then split decision to Volkanovski at UFC 245 and then UFC 251 for the featherweight title. This will be Holloway’s first fight without a title on the line since June 4, 2016. He’s had a remarkable run in the UFC.

Kattar has never had a title shot. Maybe he’ll get one with a win here. This is the biggest stage Kattar has had and Holloway, who has been very vocal about his most recent loss, wants another crack at the strap. It is crazy to think that Holloway is only 29, with 27 pro fights to his name. Kattar has big-time striking power, but we’ve seen Holloway’s chin on display more than once.

The total of 4.5 heavily juiced to the over implies that the fight should go Holloway’s direction. Kattar hasn’t fought into the championship rounds. The longer it goes the more it benefits Holloway’s experience and endurance. That’s why I’ll lay the favorite in the main.
<h4><strong>Pick: Max Holloway</strong></h4>
