"We're approaching this like a playoff game," coach Sean Payton told ESPN.com. "The key for us is to handle the holiday week, with Christmas being on a Wednesday, put together a good plan and a good set of practices and put our focus into playing our best football Sunday."

New Orleans is averaging 16.8 points over its last five games. Four of those contests, however, have come on the road. The Saints have averaged 32.9 points in their seven home games.

"We feel it is a big advantage for us, just like it is for a team when we play on the road," Payton said, also noting his team's late kickoff time. "I think that finishing up the regular season with a 3:25 start time is a big plus for us. It is up to us to take advantage of it."

This game could be the final as Bucs head coach for Gregg Schiano, but that decision will be determined after the season concludes.
