They lost in heartbreaking fashion to division rivals Philadelphia Eagles, 27-24, where they gave up two field goals in the final 51 seconds, including a 61-yarder that concluded the game. It came after the G-Men roared back from three scoreless quarters and poured in all of their points in the final frame.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to be positive about it, though, the contest featured the Giants&#8217; best and most aggressive offensive attack of the season. Eli Manning was 35-for-47 for 366 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, connecting with his three key wide receivers &#8211; Odell Beckham, Brandon Marshall, and Sterling Shepard &#8211; 24 times for 278 yards and three TDs. Shepard, in particular, caught seven passes for a career-high 133 yards and a TD. It was also the wideouts&#8217; best statistical performances this season.<\/p>\n<p>Such potency in the passing game is a sign that they are more than capable of still making things work offensively. The offensive line, for all its faults, showed improvement in protecting Manning, as the group didn&#8217;t give up a sack and only allowed four QB hits. Their run blocking (the running backs only had 2.9 yards per carry) and random mental lapses will still be a question mark, but we should see it be better as the year progresses.<\/p>\n<p>Not much positivity can be generated on the defensive side, with the pass defense only ranking in the teens and the front seven allowing 153.3 rushing yards per game. We&#8217;ll see if they can shine more against the similarly erratic offense of the Buccaneers.<\/p>\n<p>The Giants are 2-6 in their last eight games on the road (3-4-1- ATS).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Betting on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-1)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/nfl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Point Spread: -3<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Buccaneers took a couple of steps back from their big 2017 debut, as they lost to the Sam Bradford-less Minnesota Vikings this past Sunday, 34-17.<\/p>\n<p>An uninspired defense killed the Bucs, as career back-up QB, Case Keenum, carved them up for 369 yards and three TDs on 25-for-33 passing, while Stefon Diggs burned their secondary for 173 yards and a pair of TD grabs. It&#8217;s a kind of defensive effort that will lead to a similar result on Week 4, since they&#8217;ll face a team with a more loaded receiving corps (regardless of how underwhelming the Giants offense have been overall).<\/p>\n<p>Defense wasn&#8217;t the only area where Tampa regressed, though. On offense, although Jameis Winston had 328 yards and two TD tosses, he threw a trio of picks, which could also be partially blamed with the lack of help from his backfield, with the group only having 22 yards on 2.7 yards per carry.<\/p>\n<p>We may see yet another ugly output from the RBs, with primary back, Doug Martin, still owing the league one game in his suspension (substance abuse). They&#8217;ll have an interesting clash with the Giants&#8217; underwhelming run defense, although when you consider talent and history of production, it&#8217;s Bucs&#8217; men that appears to be the underdog in the fight.<\/p>\n<p>Tampa has won five-straight games at home (4-1 ATS).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Bucs (<a
