The Saints played two games against the Bucs in three weeks (with a game against the Arizona Cardinals sandwiched in the middle). The two teams split the season series last year, with each team suffering a loss at home. The Bucs win in New Orleans actually snapped a seven-game streak of Saints victories against their NFC South opponent.

So what says you, you unbiased Saints fans? Are we getting another split? If so, would we see the road team getting the win each time? Or will there be a sweep one way or the other?
