New York Giants (PK)* at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
File this game in the ‘potential trap’ folder, but part of the reasoning behind taking the Giants on the road against a terrible team is the fact that they just played — and lost to — a terrible team on the road. Last week, we pegged the Giants traveling to Jacksonville as a ‘trap’ where the Jaguars had every right to consider Sunday’s matchup the most winnable game on their schedule. Surely, Tennessee will do the same, but New York will not get caught sleeping twice in a row.
The Giants have proven to be absolutely abysmal, and the current seven-game losing streak on which New York is riding has now trumped last year’s low watermark of six consecutive losses. Obviously, nothing is a given for a three-win team, but the Giants need to end their skid, and someone must be the sacrificial lamb.
The Giants win by ten and cover.
