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.

Bills at Jets: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks

Prediction

Bills 30, Jets 13

Money line (?)

The Jets are just horrible. They can’t score points and can’t stop anyone. This divisional rivalry can be interesting but Bills QB Allen will not have any trouble against this team. However, at -625, it isn’t worth the bet. AVOID.

Against the spread (?)

The Jets have yet to cover the spread in any game this season. Buffalo is 3-3 ATS. There is nothing about the Jets to trust against a team who is the favorite to win the division. Take the BILLS -12 (-110).

Over/Under (?)

Buffalo’s games have gone Over in four of six games. The Jets are 3-3 O/U. I don’t expect the Jets to score enough to carry their end of the deal. Take the UNDER (45.5).

NFL Prop Bets Payday: 5 Thursday Night Football prop bet predictions

Highlighting five Thursday Night Football prop bet predictions as the New York Giants take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

The 1-4-1 Philadelphia Eagles play the second of three straight home games Thursday night, hosting the NFC East rival New York Giants (1-5) at Lincoln Financial Field. Kickoff will be at 8:20 p.m. ET on Thursday Night Football. Below, we look at five Thursday Night Football prop bets to make.

Field goal to be first scoring play (+105)

Philly is all kinds of banged up, with cluster injuries striking the offensive line and pass-catchers in particular, and the latest to feel the wrath are two of the team’s top offensive players in RB Miles Sanders and TE Zach Ertz. Both are sidelined Thursday night (or longer) and that’s a big blow to Philly’s offensive continuity and the ability to sustain touchdown drives.

The Giants are much healthier — despite the season-ending knee injury suffered by stud RB Saquon Barkley in Week 2 — but the team’s ugly offensive numbers have made Giants fans ill as New York easily has the league’s worst TD-to-field-goal ratio at 7:16.

The plus-value tag on this first-score field goal prop looks attractive in a game where there figures to be plenty to go around.

Eagles to win race to 20 points (-129)

QB Carson Wentz and the Eagles are averaging 23.5 points per outing and have scored at least 23 in each of their last four contests.

The Giants, meanwhile, rank 31st in the league in scoring (16.8 points per game) and have reached 20 only twice in six contests.

Despite the injury issues, take the Eagles and pay the -129 price.

Wentz and Giants QB Daniel Jones both to finish with 15+ rushing yards (-136)

It’s a quarterback “leg” parlay here, and it’s priced at -136 for good reason.

Wentz trails only Sanders on the team with 172 yards on 28 attempts and 162 of those yards have come in the last four games.

Jones, meanwhile, is New York’s leading rusher on the year with 204 yards on 27 attempts and has rushed for at least 21 yards in five of six contests this season.

WR DeSean Jackson OVER 36.5 receiving yards (-115)

The decimated Eagles are getting one key weapon back this week. The speedy Jackson has suited up in only six games for Philly since signing with the team prior to the 2019 season.

Jackson gives the team a much-needed downfield threat, and in the three games he has played at least 50% of the Eagles’ offensive snaps, he has totaled 264 receiving yards and two TDs on 16 catches, reaching at least 46 yards in each game.

With his impressive career average of 17.3 yards per reception, he might only need one catch to reach 35 yards and that seems like a reasonable gamble to take considering how many other offensive weapons the Eagles are missing.

Eagles RB Boston Scott over 21.5 receiving yards (-115)

Scott steps in for the ailing Sanders, and he provides Wentz with a sneaky good underneath receiving option.

Scott filled in for Sanders late last season as well, and in the last seven games he has played at least 18% of Philly’s offensive snaps, he has posted receiving yardage totals of 69, 39, 7, 84, 19, 24 and 5 on 30 combined catches. By the way, the two highest yardage totals (69 and 84) in that group came late last season in games against the Giants.

Bypass his rushing yards prop and go with the underpublicized Over on Scott as a receiver.
