NFL FREE PICK: Take New York. In typical Giants fashion, they came out flat in a game they were supposed to win last week. They were sloppy, couldn’t protect Eli Manning and the defense somehow lost track of Kevin Ogletree at several points throughout the night. But they won’t be caught with their pants down for a second week in a row and while the Buccaneers picked up a nice win last week in Greg Schiano’s debut, they don’t have the firepower to match the Giants. According to latest NFL trends the Bucs are 0-4-1 against the spread in their last five games versus the Giants.
