Saints defensive improvement

Take the Saints (-3) over the Buccaneers in the divisional round, says Neil Greenberg, after the Saints defensive improvement in the second half of the season:

“Including that game, the Saints’ defense saved nine points per contest in the second half of the season based on the down, distance and field position of each play against them, per data from TruMedia. That was quite the turnaround, considering its defense cost New Orleans eight points per game over the first eight weeks of the year, which ranked 23rd.”
