Why Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a good bet at pk?

Although Tampa has won a single game in their past 6, a 26-23 effort over the Cleveland Browns, the Bucs remain the top team in the NFL in total yards and passing yards. Tampa averages 361.2 passing yards per. The passing yards make up most of the Bucs’ 452.8 total yards per. Washington shut down Tampa’s offense in Week 10, but that’s because the Redskins have one of the top defensive lines in the NFL. The Giants should have trouble keeping Tampa from reaching its passing yards mark. That gives Tampa a huge shot for the win.

Offense:

• Average Score For: 25.8

Why New York Giants are a good bet at pk?

The Giants made some changes during their Week 9 bye. Those changes might have been what led New York to their first win this season since Week 3 when they beat the Houston Texans 27-22.

Eli Manning looked much more comfortable in the shotgun. He delivered strike after strike on the Giants’ game-winning drive. The defense played well to prevent the 49ers from rallying for the win.

If the Giants can take the positives and build upon them on Sunday, they’ll beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Buccaneers vs Giants Final NFL Betting Analysis

Neither team’s great against the spread although the Buccaneers do bounce back from tough home losses. The key in this game is New York’s ultra-talented rookie running back Saquon Barkley.

Tampa attempts to turn games into shootouts because when they do, they have a shot at winning. The Giants’ philosophy’s the exact opposite. NYG prefers to control the flow of the game with Barkley both catching passes out of the backfield and churning for tough yards.

Because the Buccaneers’ defense ranks 32^nd in points allowed, over 32 per game, the Giants should have no trouble controlling this one from the outset. NYG makes it two in a row.
