Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New York Giants: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 12 game
Bills hand Chiefs their first loss, Steelers atop the AFC North
Mackenzie Salmon breaks down the top storylines from Week 11 in the NFL.
Sports Seriously
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6) and New York Giants (2-8) are coming off bye weeks and both sides will likely look very different when they meet in Week 12.
Injuries have played a major role in Tampa Bay’s four-game losing streak, but some good news could be on the horizon: Mike Evans is expected to return. The receiver should give Baker Mayfield big help and help the Buccaneers get out of a slump as it heads to an easy end of the schedule.
Daniel Jones’ time in New York is likely up with the team deciding to start Tommy DeVito and bench the franchise quarterback. There isn’t an answer as to what it will do for the Giants, but maybe DeVito can provide a spark to the team like he did last season.

Lorenzo Reyes: Buccaneers 27, Giants 14
The Giants may be looking for a spark in Tommy DeVito, but he realistically doesn’t provide an upgrade over Daniel Jones. Tampa Bay’s defense has underwhelmed this season, but Todd Bowles should have a plan to frustrate DeVito. And the Bucs are coming off their bye.
Tyler Dragon: Buccaneers 21, Giants 17
The Giants finally benched struggling QB Daniel Jones. Can Tommy DeVito light a spark in New York? Probably not. The Bucs have lost four games in a row but will bounce back against a Giants team with no answers at quarterback.
Richard Morin: Buccaneers 20, Giants 6
New York is handing the keys to Tommy DeVito. Not sure how excited I’d be to jump in a car that’s already been crashed.
Jordan Mendoza: Buccaneers 22, Giants 16
Can Tommy DeVito bring some magic back to New York? The home crowd will probably love seeing him lead the team out, but they might not enjoy seeing him lose the team’s sixth straight game.
