Dave Blezow picks his winner for Monday night’s matchup between the Giants and Buccaneers. Home team in CAPS.
New York Giants (+10.5) over TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
It’s fair to wonder whether the Giants are running into a similar situation to the one the Jets faced with the Bills last week — going up against a top team off a loss.
I liken it more to the Monday night game in Kansas City when the Chiefs were coming off a 27-3 loss to the Titans and many said the same thing. K.C. ended up 9.5-point favorites over the Giants and held on, 20-17, in a game Big Blue could’ve taken.
In Joe Judge’s tenure, the Giants are 6-3 ATS when getting a TD or more. And per VSiN’s Josh Appelbaum, double-digit ’dogs on “Monday Night Football” are 17-4 ATS in the past decade,
