Buccaneers vs. Giants spread: Buccaneers -11 Buccaneers vs. Giants over-under: 50 points Buccaneers vs. Giants money line: Tampa Bay -550, New York +400 NYG: The Giants are 5-0 ATS in their previous five road games against the Buccaneers TB: The Buccaneers are 5-0 straight up in their last five home gamesFeatured Game | Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New York Giants
Surprisingly, the Giants are one of the NFL's better road teams against the spread. In fact, they're 3-1 against the number away from home and have won straight-up in two of their previous three games.
The Giants rebounded after losing to the Los Angeles Rams by thrashing the Carolina Panthers, 25-3, in Week 7. They nearly upset the Kansas City Chiefs in a 20-17 loss the following week before taking down the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9. The Bucs' secondary hasn't been particularly effective as of late, giving up 471 passing yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in its last two losses. The Giants could have a shot if Daniel Jones has similar success to Taylor Heinicke and Trevor Siemian. New York is coming off a bye week.
Why the Buccaneers can coverTampa Bay is in a downward spiral, but its home performances are often elite. The Bucs are a perfect 4-0 straight-up at home in 2021. They're also 3-1 against the spread at Raymond James Stadium.
The Bucs won their home season-opener against the Dallas Cowboys by just two points but have dominated visiting teams since then. Tampa Bay's last three home wins were by an average of 28.6 points. Tom Brady's receiving corps is dynamic, and his team's league-leading marks in passing yards per game (315.6) and passing touchdowns (27) are proof of that. If the Buccaneers' passing attack clicks and their elite, run-stopping defense shows up, they can win a fourth consecutive home game by double-digits.
How to make Giants vs. Buccaneers picksSportsLine's model is leaning over the total, projecting the teams to combine for 50 points. The model also says one side of the spread cashes in well over 50 percent of simulations. You can only see the model's Giants vs. Buccaneers picks at SportsLine.
