Weather: Chilly in the New Jersey swamplands but cold by Florida standards, per AccuWeather.com. Tailgaters will suffer through upper 30s under sunny skies but those same skies will turn cloudy at kickoff just breaking 40. The temperature will top out at 43 in the second half before sinking back to 41 by the end of the game. Surprisingly, there will be little wind at the Meadowlands.

Odds: Per FootballLocks.com, Giants -1.

Outlook: This has the look of a loss. The Bucs defense stinks and the Giants have dangerous weapons with Saquon Barkley, Odell Beckham and Sterling Shepard, Evan Engram and Eli Manning. Sure, Manning is a shell of his former self. Part of that is he has zero blocking. But think about it: The Redskins last week pulled three guys off the street to block for Alex Smith and the Bucs barely touched him. Manning may be Old Yeller on his last legs but if you give him time he can still burn teams, just look at least week against the 49ers. Sure, the Giants are bad. This just in: The Bucs are worse.
