Giants open as 10-point home underdogs vs. Buccaneers

The New York Giants (1-6) will host Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-2) next Monday night at MetLife Stadium.

The Bucs opened as 10-point favorites over the home Giants with the over/under launching at 47.5 points, per BetMGM. The money line opened at Tampa Bay -455, Giants +360.

The Giants are coming off a heartbreaking fourth-quarter collapse against the Philadelphia Eagles, while the Bucs have won five of their last six games, including two breezy wins the past two weeks over Green Bay and Las Vegas.

New York is averaging just 17.4 points per game to Tampa’s 31.7. The Bucs average 371 yards per game on offense to the Giants’ 282. On defense, the Giants are allowing 24 points per game to the Bucs’ 20.3.

Tampa Bay leads the NFL in overall net points (+80) and net TDs (+11).

Brady has 18 touchdown passes versus four interceptions this season and has tossed for 1,910 yards. Prorated over 16 games, that amounts to 41 touchdowns, nine interceptions and 4,365 passing yards.

Tampa Bay is 4-3 against the spread this season. The Giants are 3-4.
