A new NFL season begins and also a new era for Tom Brady. After all his success with the New England Patriots, he now begins his first season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With the Super Bowl being held in Tampa next February, the Buccaneers would love to be part of that. They will need a massive improvement though if that is to happen. Last season saw then end on 7-9  in NFC South and they haven't even reached the play-offs since 2007. It was a step in the right direction though as they only won five games in the 2018 season. Brady isn't their only new signing with Rob Gronowski also a Buccanneer now. Word is Brady is receiving $50m for two years, he better start earning his money quickly if his new team are to get into conention for the play-offs. Three wild card teams this season rather than two in the past might help.

They certainly have a tough start as the New Orleans Saints finished top of the NFC South last season with a 13-3 regular season record. That included home and away wins over the Buccaneers and they will be expecting to start this new season with another victory over them. The Saints went on to lose to the Minnesota Vikings in the wild card round, so will want to improve on that this term. Their front four will have just one aim in this match and that is to make Brady's life as difficult as they can. New Orleans have home advantage and can get the win here.
