Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans broke his collarbone and will miss most of the remainder of this season, coach Todd Bowles announced.

Following the loss, the Bucs saw their spot in ESPN's Week 8 power rankings, drop from the top spot. They had been in the top overall spot in the rankings, as we mentioned, but now they find themselves down at fourth in the rankings as the Lions replace them atop the standings.

The Saints, meanwhile, have been more competent than expected offensively, but their defense is a problem — allowing nearly 27 points per game and constantly digging early holes. They’re 2–5 ATS in first halves, which makes Tampa Bay -2.5 in the first half my best bet for the game.
