The Saints vs Buccaneers live stream is scheduled to start at 8:20 p.m. ET/ 5:20 p.m. PT Sunday, November 8 on NBC.
It's game time: this Saints vs Buccaneers live stream is their second matchup of the season, and the latter are intent on revenge, and aiming to redeem their 34-23 season-opener loss. With each team sporting just two defeats, the winner of this match will also rise to lead the NFC South at midseason. Plus, Antonio Brown is making his first start with the Bucs.
For this NFL live stream, though, the oddsmakers favor Tampa Bay (by 3 points), largely on the strength of their new quarterback, longtime Patriot front man Tom Brady. That's not to cast shade on Saints' QB Drew Brees, who remains one of the best throwers in the league, with 13 touchdown passes and just three interceptions this season.

But Brady has been on fire since the Buccs' awkward season start (which featured two interceptions). He's thrown 20 touchdowns and ranks second in the NFL in yardage (2,189). Brady was also named NFC Offensive Player of the Month for October. The quarterbacks are currently neck-and-neck for career touchdowns, with Brady leading 561-560. That two men in their 40s are still playing at the top of their game is some kind of testament to willpower, genetics, or both.
This game may not be decided just on offense, though. The Buccaneers have mounted a considerably stronger defense, allowing just 20.6 points per game, vs a whopping 28.1 by New Orleans. They will be pushing hard on Brees. The Buccs are tied for first in the NFL in interceptions (11) and for second in sacks (28).
Tampa will also be channeling their defensive efforts on Saints' running back Alvin Kamara, who leads his team in both rushing and receiving yards. It takes two Buccaneers, Scotty Miller as receiver and Ronald Jones II as runner, to counter Kamara on offense. Tampa has a brand new weapon, though: Wide receiver Antonio Brown just signed with the team. Kamara isn’t on his own, either. WR Emmanuel Sanders is expected to come off the reserve/COVID-19 list.
