Buccaneers at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Buccaneers 24, Giants 13
Moneyline
PASS.
There is just too much going on with the Giants to contend in this game. I’ve got the Buccaneers (-225) taking this game in New York but I’ll look to the spread to make my bet.
Against the spread
BET BUCCANEERS -6 (-115).
The Giants turn to QB Tommy DeVito in Week 12 after a chaotic week that saw Jones benched and released, with QB Drew Lock reportedly unhappy about being bypassed. Tampa Bay’s defense, anchored by LB Lavonte David and DT Vita Vea, thrives on pressuring quarterbacks and forcing turnovers, a likely issue for the inexperienced DeVito. With the hopeful return of Evans to lead the offense, the Buccaneers should exploit mismatches in the Giants’ secondary and control the game to cover the spread.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 41.5 (-110).
DeVito’s inexperience against Tampa Bay’s aggressive defense likely spells trouble for the Giants’ offensive output. The Buccaneers have gone Over the total in 7 of 10 games, but this matchup presents a different scenario. Tampa Bay’s pass rush and physical secondary should disrupt New York’s rhythm, while the Buccaneers’ methodical, time-controlling offense keeps the pace slow. With both teams struggling for explosive plays, the game flow points to the total staying under the number.
