Buccaneers vs Giants Prediction
The current betting odds have the Buccaneers listed as a 5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Buccaneers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 4-6 record overall, but that record still has them in this race for the NFC South. They got off to a much hotter start this season but they have been derailed these last few weeks by key injuries. They have still been keeping their games close though and they are going to have motivation coming out of their bye week here since the rest of the division hasn't looked great, the leading Falcons only being 6-5. The Bucs are right in this division race and they are going to bring their best effort out of their bye week to get themselves back on track with a win. Meanwhile, the Giants have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-8 record overall which has them at the bottom of the NFC East and out of the playoff race. They are already 0-4 in their division games and they have been even worse in their home games this season, going 0-5 at home. They are also coming out of their bye week here, but they are coming off a loss to the Panthers in Germany in their last one and that loss has now pushed Daniel Jones to the bench, Tommy DeVito getting another shot this week. DeVito had his moments last season, but this offense isn't going to be any better with him leading it. The Bucs have still looked good on offense with Baker the last few weeks too so he will find ways to put up points against this struggling Giants team. This is the perfect game for the Bucs to have a get right game and a much needed win coming out of their bye week. The best way to place a bet here is on the Buccaneers to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“We have to finish ballgames. There's nothing wrong with how hard we're playing and how tough we're playing, but we have to finish games. ... We're making too many mistakes at the end.” - Todd Bowles after his team’s loss against the 49ers in their last game.
“I just didn’t hold the ball correctly. I was trying to make a move, so I got in a hole. Got to get the ball up. That’s on me. I’ve got to live with it. I hold myself to a high standard, so whenever that happens, all of my emotions kind of came out of me at that moment.” - Tyrone Tracy Jr. after their loss against the Panthers in their last game.
