Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a big road favorite tonight against Daniel Jones and the New York Giants on Monday Night Football.
PointsBet Sportsbook is dealing Tampa Bay -12.5 with a total of 46. And not many bettors are bold enough to bet the underdog. That tends to happen when a first place team faces a last place team and the spread is just under two full touchdowns.
“People are laying the points,” PointsBet senior sports analyst Andrew Mannino told NBC Sports. “We’ve got about 84 percent of our bets and 79 percent of the spread money on the Bucs. The moneyline is even crazier at 96 percent of the bets on Tampa. And they’re slamming the Over. About 79 percent of our bet count and 81 percent of the money is on the Over."[[ad:athena]]
The favorite and the Over – it’s that simple.
Surprisingly enough, New York is 4-and-3 against the spread this year and they’ve already covered as a double-digit dog. They lost to the Rams 17-9 last month as 13.5-point road underdogs. But our data actually says the Giants are almost unbettable when they’re catching points at home.
According to Rotoworld’s Edge Finder, New York is a measly 1-and-12 ATS as home dogs over the last three seasons. A $100 bettor would be down $1,109.
Can you imagine if the Giants shocked the world? That would certainly be something.
“It would be massive for us,” Mannino said. “It would sort of fit the trend this week. We had a number of big upsets this weekend that put us in great shape. The Dolphins, Bengals and Vikings were all huge for the house [on Sunday]. Everywhere you looked, the scores were going in our favor. It wasn’t the worst day to be making book.”
