5 Bucs-Giants prop bet predictions for Week 8
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 11:11 a.m. ET.
Giants QB Daniel Jones over 1.5 passing touchdowns (+180)
No one is expecting this game between the Giants and Buccaneers to be close on Monday Night Football and that could lead to a ton of garbage time stats for QB Daniel Jones. Could he throw multiple touchdowns in this game, even if they are down by a ton early? Sure. At +180, it’s not a bad bet as Jones is willing to take chances down the field with his receivers. Expect at least one score to come late in the game, but for the over to hit here for New York.

Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones under 74.5 yards from scrimmage (-115)
With RB Leonard Fournette back in the lineup after his injury, RB Ronald Jones is no longer the team’s workhorse back. Sure, he might be the team’s starter, but head coach Bruce Arians wants to rotate his backs to keep them fresh. Look for Jones to see 12-15 touches in this game, but to ultimately come under the 74.5 yards set for him.
Buccaneers WR Scotty Miller over 46.5 receiving yards (-115)
Without WR Chris Godwin in the lineup for this game, WR Scott Miller becomes the team’s de facto No. 2 receiver. He clearly has a strong chemistry with QB Tom Brady and they aren’t afraid to challenge defenses vertically. Look for Miller to see seven or eight targets in this game and easily clear the 46.5 receiving yardage total set for him.
Buccaneers TE Rob Gronkowski to score and Bucs win (+120)
If you believe the Buccaneers are going to win this week but there just isn’t enough value on the moneyline, take Rob Gronkowski to score and Tampa Bay to win. At +120, this bet is really an anytime bet on “Gronk” to get into the end zone. Considering that Godwin will not be available in this game, Gronkowski is a good bet to see a few end zone targets in Week 8.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard to score first New York TD (+700)
WR Sterling Shepard is arguably the Giants’ best weapon and they will look to use him a ton in the slot in this game. At +700, Shepard is a good bet to score the first touchdown of the game for the Giants, should they score at all against one of the league’s best defenses.
