Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs New York Giants Prediction
The Bucs and Giants are going nowhere fast, and this isn't a game I'm excited to get involved in. With that said, the Bucs are in a better position overall and still have an outside shot of sneaking into the playoffs. At this point, the New York Giants should be focused on tanking and getting the best possible pick. The Giants are 0-5 SU and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games. If the Bucs are going to salvage things, it starts here. Give me the Buccaneers by a touchdown.
