Week 9: @Buccaneers

The Giants can’t afford to mess around with games like this. They have to take their victories and run with it and they will literally do just that. The Giants fearsome pass rush will scare the daylights out of whoever plays quarterback for the Bucs, forcing him to throw into bad coverages. Hopefully it will be a rookie who needs a warm welcome sack to the NFL.

The Tampa Bay defense is stout, but it won’t be improved enough to contain the likes of Beckham and Cruz. The Giants will go into Tampa Bay, win, and walk out with pride. Manning will once again have a career day rewarding his fantasy owners and proving his landing a new contract with the Giants.

Prediction: Giants win 35-17
