While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 1-1, their upcoming opponents are the 0-3 reeling New York Giants. They are actually a much team better than their record states but they will be desperate for a win this week in Tampa Bay.

While the Buccaneers are coming off a pretty bad loss, the New York Giants just lost on a 61-yard field goal as time expired. The Giants offensive line has been putrid but so has the Bucs pass rush. The Giants were projected contenders before the season started and a 0-4 start would likely keep them out of playoff contention in a tough NFC East. While a 1-2 start wouldn’t be great for the Buccaneers a poor performance might carry over against their toughest opponent on Thursday Night Football, New England Patriots.

The Buccaneers have won their last five home games so the crowd will be on their side. While both teams are in a must-win mode only one team will come out victorious. The Buccaneers will need to be on top of their game against these Giants because they will be motivated. Let’s take a look at the players on the Giants roster that the Bucs should be paying close attention to in the film room this week.
