The New York Giants are returning to action after their bye week, set to host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their Week 12 matchup. It’s been a rough season for New York, as they enter this game on a five-game losing streak and still searching for their first home win of 2024.
This game will also feature a new quarterback under center for Big Blue, as Tommy DeVito will start. He hopes to build off the impressive showing he delivered in 2023, when he led the team on a three-game winning streak toward the end of last season.
If you’re a Giants fan not making the trip to MetLife Stadium to cheer on your team despite their 2-8 record, here’s how you can watch this matchup.

The Giants are home underdogs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
As has been the case for most of the season, the Giants are the underdogs. Tampa Bay enters this game as a four-point favorite against the G-Men and has defeated them in their last two meetings.
Just like the Giants, the Buccaneers are not only coming off their bye week but have also been struggling to string together wins. After a 4-2 start, they have now lost four straight games, their latest loss coming in Week 10 when they fell 23-20 at home to the San Francisco 49ers on a last-second field goal - similar to the Giants.
Securing a surprising victory won't be easy. Bucs star receiver Mike Evans is expected to be back in the fold, after dealing with a hamstring injury. Watch out for him, because he could pose a nightmare matchup for New York's defense. While DeVito could be counted on to provide a bit of energy to a lifeless Giants offense, not much is expected from the second-year signal-caller.
Can DeVito use the home crowd and the Bucs' recent struggles to his advantage to give the Giants a much-needed win in what has been a miserable season?
