3) vs. Buccaneers (- 3)

The Giants, coming off of that stellar performance
versus the 16 and 0 New England Patriots, travel
to Tampa Bay to take on the Bucs in a wild-card
match-up this Sunday.
The Giants have a long road to climb actually
as the Bucs are led by one of the more seasoned
and tougher quarterbacks in the NFL, Jeff Garcia.
They also have a very underrated defense.
First, some trends:
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 5 and 1 against
the spread in their last 6 home games.
The New York Giants are 4 and 1 against the
spread in their last 5 games overall.
The New York Giants are 4 and 1 against the
spread in their last 5 games as an UNDERDOG.
This point spread surprises me only because
the Giants played so well last Saturday night
versus the New England Patriots. Without a doubt
the G-Men have played a tougher schedule this
year. That should set them up versus the Bucs,
right?
Actually, wrong.
The Buccaneers are one of the better teams
in the NFL. They’ve proven
it by, if not being spectacular, then being consistent
this year. They put away the teams they needed
to put away, like the New Orleans Saints and
Carolina Panthers, and beat the Washington Redskins.
That one-point loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars
was also impressive as the Jags are one of my
favorites to cause some noise in the AFC Playoffs.
The Bucs’ D
is terrific. They have fast linebackers, a
nice D-Line, and Ronde Barber is still one
of the better cornerbacks in the NFL.
The Giants have
played well in spots this season, but I have
to believe that Bucs coach Jon Gruden will
find a way to upset Eli Manning’s
rhythm. Eli has never responded well to pressure.
So, I can see him throwing at least two maybe
three interceptions in this game. Also, this
season teams who have played well versus the
New England Patriots have played terribly in
their next game.
That will be all that the Bucs need in order
to beat this team by the 3 point home spread.
The BetUS NFL betting
line is Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 3
against the spread on the road versus the New
York Giants.
I like the Bucs to cover in this game.
