It’s the return of Tommy Cutlets! Coming off their bye, New York (2-8) has benched their starting quarterback in favor of Tommy DeVito for this Sunday’s game against the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6).
The Giants have officially decided the Daniel Jones Era is over as they have benched him in order to keep him healthy and allow them to jettison him at the conclusion of the regular season. Tommy DeVito is not the solution. He is the placeholder although he did go 3-3 as a starter last season. More importantly, does he offer bettors an opportunity to cash tickets? His passing yardage is set at 182.5 yards. It is fair to expect him to fall short of that number. DeVito threw for more than 182 yards in just 2 of 7 starts last season and he is facing a rested Tampa defense. Yes, the Bucs’ defense is yielding 282 yards per game. The Giants’ offensive line woes, however, may well mitigate the issues Tampa has wrestled with on defense.
Among the variables to consider are the potential return of WR Mike Evans (hamstring) for Tampa and WR Darius Slayton (concussion) for New York. Definite weapons for each side, but how many snaps will each get and how effective will each be after being sidelined the last few weeks.
Losers of 4 straight, the Bucs are favored by 6 points at DraftKings.
Fun Fact: Sunday will be the 1st time Todd Bowles steps onto the field at MetLife Stadium as a head coach since being fired by the New York Jets after the 2018 season.
