Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 5 Bold predictions for Week 8 vs. Giants
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense will not allow a touchdown
The Buccaneers defense has been one of the best in the league this season and they will flex their muscle this week against the struggling offense for the Giants. In fact, the Giants have the second worst-ranked offense in the NFL and they only average 17.4 points per game. This is despite putting up 34 points in a game against Dallas and 21 points last week against the Eagles.

The Giants offensive line has struggled in both the running game and the passing game. The Buccaneers continue to have the league’s best running defense which might for the Giants to put the game in the hands of second-year quarterback Daniel Jones. So far he has not been up for the task with seven interceptions already on the season.
3. Mike Evans will continue to struggle
With Chris Godwin out on Monday night and Antonio Brown still under suspension, you would think Mike Evans would be able to have a huge game. This thought would be wrong since Evans still seems to be bothered by the ankle injury he suffered in Wk 4 against the Chargers.
On top of this, the Giants have James Bradberry as their prized offseason signing and he has not disappointed. Bradberry is leading the NFL with 11 passes defended, and he boasts the size and strength most corners lack when it comes to defending Evans.
Bradberry has not been in full shadow mode for the Giants, but he will probably see plenty of Evans anyway unless the Buccaneers scheme the game plan so it doesn’t happen. Expect Evans to make possession catches, but not much else.
