Depleted Defense? Well that's nothing new. They were without both starting CBs Greer and
Porter last week and their safety Sharper. DT Ellis has been out for a few weeks, that's nothing new either.
This week Sharper is back while Greer and Porter are still out.
This comes down to point scoring and not defense.
The Saints keep starting their recent games down by 10-14 points. While they might not cover the spread as the rookie QB has looked very good for Tampa, the Saints will win the game outright.
