As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prepare to take on the New Orleans Saints, we take one final look at the upcoming game to see who's in, who's out, and the keys to victory.

For the Bucs, it appears as though they will be getting Rob Gronkowski back, who hasn't played since week three against the Los Angeles Rams, and they may see the returns of Richard Sherman and Lavonte David. One player that they will not have is Antonio Brown, who was spotted at practice with a crutch as he continues to deal with an ankle injury. Head coach Bruce Arians is not optimistic that Brown will be back soon - luckily, the Bucs have their bye week coming up after this Sunday's game.

For the Saints, they will be a little more vulnerable along the offensive line with Andrus Peat out the rest of the season with a pectoral injury. That means the Bucs' pass rush will be able to get after Jameis Winston a little easier than normal.

With the trade deadline approaching, we have a listener call in about a potential trade they came across and if we believed the Buccaneers would make any moves ahead of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. Another listener voices his frustration that the national media isn't showing the Buccaneers any love for the early struggles of the Kansas City Chiefs. Did the Buccaneers lay out the blueprint in Super Bowl LV as to how to defeat the Chiefs and now, just eight months later, has everyone forgotten?

Finally, we lay out some predictions for the game Sunday. Who are going to be the standout players for the Bucs against the Saints? Will the defense be able to force mistakes from Jameis Winston and shut down Alvin Kamara, even with all the injuries in the secondary? What is the final score going to be?
