N.Y. Giants +210 over TAMPA BAY

1:05 PM EST. The Giants have played two home games and are 0-2 both straight up against the spread (ATS). Tampa Bay got whacked in Week 1 by San Francisco but regained its market credibility with an outstanding effort in prime time last Thursday in an upset win in Carolina. We’re going to recap that for you because it’s significant.

In Week 1, the market was all over the Bucs to beat the 49ers. Jamies Winston looked completely lost out there and so, on a short week and traveling to Carolina in Week 2, the market/oddsmakers responded and made Winston and the Bucs a 6½-point underdog. For those that played, faded or watched the Bucs last Thursday, they watched an inspiring effort and an impressive display of football. Tampa Bay instantly got its market credibility back while the Giants street cred is gone. The Bucs now go from a 6½-point underdog to Carolina to a 6½-point favorite over a team that is not worse than the Panthers. Frankly, this line is outrageous and we’re all over it.

Hello Daniel Jones. Giants QB Daniel Jones was named the starting quarterback for Week 3. Duh. It was inevitable. Eli Manning has looked like a dope out there for three years. Daniel Jones is a pupil of David Cuccliffe. Cutcliffe has developed and delivered some great talented out of college to the NFL. Jones is a QB that has pedigree after an outstanding college career not to mention a great preseason. Daniel Jones is smart, strong-armed, accurate, mobile and physical and trust us when we strongly suggest this is not a downgrade. Do not get influenced by a media pounding it into your head that the Giants have a rookie QB going and making his first start. Jones has been preparing masterfully for this moment for a decade.  

Instead of losing market credibility, the Giants should be gaining some with this favorable move. We’re not going to lay out Daniel Jones’ pedigree. You can look it up if you like but we are 100% convinced that Jones is a massive upgrade from Eli. And what about the players? While one cannot openly say that the reason we suck is because our QB is useless, they all had to be thinking that at some point. Eli is football royalty. The last dude that benched him got lynch-mobbed, which is probably why it’s taken so long to bench him again. Nevertheless, it’s a move that the players will embrace and may even be inspired by. The Giants have pro-bowl players on all three units --defense, offense and special teams. The New York football Giants were a 7-point dog in Dallas in Week 1 with a worse QB and now they’re practically the same price in Tampa Bay? Da f**k is that? This is value at its best.
