Odds: Per BetMGM, as of midnight Sunday, Bucs -10.5; over/under 50.

Zebras: This could be a flag-happy game, oh joy! The crew for tonight’s game is Craig Wrolstad’s gang. Though his crew has only worked eight games, no crew working eight games has thrown more flags. Per Rotwire.com, Wrolstad’s crew loves to throw flags for holding. They have the eighth-most holding calls of all referee crews with 37. To be fair, Wrolstad’s gang lets defenders rush the quarterback. They have thrown but four flags for roughing the quarterback. Only three referee crews have fewer.

Outlook:  Joe really thinks this game is going to be close. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has faced Todd Bowles’ defense twice before and has had success. Two years ago he fried the defense badly as the Bucs choked away a massive halftime lead. The Bucs couldn’t stop this guy. Last year on Monday Night Football, Jones wasn’t awful. He had two critical interceptions; take those away and he likely beats the Bucs again. Now, Jones has talented weapons but is down his top target, Sterling Shepard. The Bucs still don’t have two of their starting corners. Sean Murphy-Bunting may be available but Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians said he won’t play full-time if he is activated. Let’s just say Joe is not confident in Dee Delaney and the bottle of cologne, Pierre Desir. Joe does believe the Bucs win, a one-score game. The Bucs aren’t playing good football of late and until they do, Joe thinks every week is going to be a struggle until they find a way out of this rut.

Fun fact: The only time a Bruce Arians-led team has ever lost to the Giants was two years ago when the Bucs’ defense collapsed at home in the second half. The Bucs both choked away a massive halftime lead and a chance to win the game in the final seconds with a missed field goal.
