Monday Night Football picks and prop bets: Are the Giants the perfect team to get the Bucs back on track?

Tom Brady hasn’t lost three straight since 2002. Will that streak end vs. the Giants?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-10.5) aren’t at a crisis point. They might be if they lose to the New York Giants on Monday night.

Tom Brady’s team has vacated its claim as the NFC’s top team thanks to a pair of defeats to underwhelming conference foes the past three weeks. Two-possession losses to the New Orleans Saints and Washington Football Team have pulled back the vulnerabilities of a suddenly-sloppy offense. Brady’s four interceptions have cast a pall over what could be an Age-44 MVP season and Tampa’s chances at defending its Super Bowl title.

Fortunately, a showdown with the 3-6 Giants presents an opportunity to get back on track. New York has struggled through the start of what may be the final season with head coach Joe Judge and general manager Dave Gettleman behind the wheel. Their team has been mostly forgettable in 2021, certainly not good but also not quite bad enough to fall into the Texans/Jaguars tier of shame.

As such, it wouldn’t be completely shocking to see the Bucs drop another game to a middling foe working to jumpstart its postseason hopes. It would still be a surprise, though.

Let’s talk about it. All odds via Tipico.

Giants at Buccaneers odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Buccaneers 34, Giants 17

Money line

The Buccaneers (-540) will cost you more than five times your potential return. Not only is that risky behavior in and of itself, but it’s especially a bad idea betting against an angry QB Tom Brady. He will do whatever it takes to avoid three straight losses. Still, risking that is foolish.

PASS, and look to the line instead.

Against the spread

The BUCCANEERS -10.5 (-110) are the play on its home field under the lights. In the past three home games as a double-digit favorite Tampa has covered.

‘The Bucs were 12.5-point favorites over the Chicago Bears in Week 7, and they rolled 38-3. They were 11-point favorites over the Miami Dolphins in Week 5, and they won 45-17. They were 13.5-point favorites over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2, and routed the division rivals 48-25.

Over/Under

The OVER 49.5 (-115) is a decent play in this one. The Over has cashed in three of Tampa’s four home games this season, with the Bucs averaging 40.0 PPG in those four outings. Brady and the Bucs love a little home cooking, and they’ll pile up the points again despite the fact Brown is out for this one.
