Tampa Bay Buccaneers double-digit favorites at New York Giants in Week 8

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the betting favorites in their Week 8 road game at the New York Giants on Monday Night Football.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-2) visit the New York Giants (1-6) in the Week 8 Monday Night Football game at MetLife Stadium at 8:15 p.m. ET. Here’s a look at the early Week 8 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

Tom Brady threw four touchdowns and ran for another as the Buccaneers claimed a 45-20 victory at the Las Vegas Raiders Sunday. Brady – who now leads New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees in all-time TD passes 559-558 – was 33-for-45 for 369 yards. Trailing 10-7 early in the second quarter, Brady threw TD passes to TE Rob Gronkowski (5 catches, 62 yards) and WR Scotty Miller (6 catches, 109 yards) and gave the Bucs a 21-10 lead into the break. The Raiders trimmed the lead to 24-20 early in the fourth quarter before the Bucs scored the final 21 points of the game. Brady first hit WR Chris Godwin (9 catches, 88 yards) for a 4-yard score, RB Ronald Jones Jr. scored on a 1-yard run and WR Tyler Johnson pulled in Brady’s final TD. RB Leonard Fournette led the Bucs ground game with 50 yards on 11 carries.

The Giants lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 22-21 in Week 7’s Thursday game. The G-Men led 21-10 with 6:17 to go after WR Sterling Shepard pulled in a 2-yard pass from QB Daniel Jones (20-for-30, 187 yards, 2 TDs, 1 interception), but the defense allowed TD drives of 68 and 75 yards as the Eagles scored the final 12 points – missing 2-point conversion attempts on both. The Giants, which had a one-game win streak snapped, were 3-for-10 on third-down attempts and finished with nine penalties for 62 yards in the loss.
