Giants vs. Buccaneers Same Game Parlay Picks & Props for Monday Night Football
Our NFL betting analysts have looked at Giants vs. Buccaneers odds and Monday Night Football props. Now let’s top it up with a same game parlay before things kick off in Tampa Bay.
It’s time for yet another Monday Night Football game, and we’ve got plenty of storylines ahead of us this evening. We have seven-time Super Bowl champ Tom Brady leading the reigning-champion Buccaneers against the New York Giants, who played spoiler in two of his three Super Bowl losses. We’re expecting the return of longtime Brady BFF and dominant Bucs tight end Rob Gronkowski (back), as well as elite Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle). New York has won two of its last three games, while the Bucs have lost two of their last three. All eyes will be on ESPN for this one, but we’ll be watching to cheer on our Same Game Parlay on PointsBet.
A Same Game Parlay basically just means a parlay consisting of multiple correlated wagers from one specific game. It provides bettors with good options to bet a game—and piece together props into a parlay within that game—beyond just the standard spread, moneyline, and over/under totals.
SGPs have become one of the most popular betting options in sports, and we’ve been riding the wave all season. We came so close to a cash-out last night, coming just five Najee Harris receiving yards short of a big payday.

Margins 13.5: Buccaneers 1-13 (+130)
I almost never include straight spreads or moneylines in Same Game Parlays for primetime games. It’s too risky! It’s much safer—and actually more lucrative—to select a Tri Bet or a Margin prop. With this Margin 13.5 prop, we can select the home-team Bucs to win by between one and 13 points. That’s a safe margin—the 6-3 Bucs should be able to handle the 3-6 Giants, but perhaps not cover the -10.5 spread. This gives us a green as long as Tampa Bay prevails by less than 14. Three of the reigning champs’ six wins were by six or fewer points, and two were by two points. And five of the Giants nine games have been decided by seven or fewer points. The Giants have surrendered 24 points per game this season (21st in the NFL), while the Bucs have surrendered 23.6 (19th). Tampa have been the best scoring offense in the NFL this season (31 ppg), while the Giants average 19.9 points per game. I’ve got Tampa Bay winning by between seven and ten points—take the best of both worlds, and get safety and value for +130.
Alternate Totals: OVER 43.5 Points (-270)
Another abundantly-cautious measure I take in Same Game Parlays is picking my own totals. Rather than picking the over/under at -110 on PointsBet’s set total of 49.5, I’m essentially buying six points and going with the OVER of 43.5 at -270. That gets us well below these squads’ collective points per game (50.9), as well as their collective points allowed average (27.6). Monday Night Football games have averaged 49.4 total points this season, and I don’t expect a defensive slugfest this evening. The Bucs are looking to get back on track, and the Giants will be hitting Tampa with their best shot with Barkley returning to the field. New York QB Daniel Jones should be afforded more time and space in the pocket with Barkley in the backfield. I’m projecting this one to finish at about 28-21—avoid the heartache of the half-point miss on the OVER, and push down that total!
Anytime Touchdown Scorer: Saquon Barkley (+125)
I’ve had pretty good luck with the “Anytime Touchdown Scorer” props in SGPs as of late, especially with lead running backs. I picked Austin Ekeler -150 last night, and the Chargers’ dual-purpose stud tallied a whopping four scores on the Steelers. Well, I’m guessing that Saquon Barkley will find paydirt in his return from injury this evening. The one-time Pro Bowl back and 2018 Rookie of the Year has three TDs in just four full games this season, and 26 total TDs in 36 career games. Barkley also has three TDs in four career games against Tampa Bay. The Bucs have been pretty solid against the run this season—allowing a league-best 79.8 rushing yards per game and just six total rushing TDs all season (5th in the NFL)—but Barkley is a beast when healthy, and he can move the chains and break the plane in a multitude of ways. Bet this one at your own risk, but I regard the potential reward as worth it.
Quarterback To Get: Tom Brady 250+ Passing Yards (-350)
This one’s easy, as Brady and the Bucs have been the best offense in the league through 10 weeks and the GOAT just continues to rack up massive yardage totals. Brady leads the NFL in passing yards per game (318.9), and he has Rob Gronkowski back from injury tonight to join wideouts Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. The G-men have allowed a hair under 250 passing yards per game, but that number is inflated to 282.5 in away games. Brady has thrown for 250 passing yards in seven of the Bucs’ nine games this season—he’ll make it eight of 10 tonight.
‘Running Back To Get: Leonard Fournette 50+ Rushing Yards (-220)
You might want to skip this one, as I’ve struggled in the final leg of parlays this season, especially running-related final legs. But I like Fournette to amass at least 50 ground yards against New York this evening. Josh Jacobs of the Raiders logged 76 yards on 13 carries against the G-men two weeks ago, and the Chiefs’ combo of Darrel Williams and Derrick Gore each racked up 48 rushing yards against New York on November 1. Fournette is arguably a better (and stronger) runner than those three, and he enjoys a superior offensive line in front of him. Lenny averages 54 rushing yards per game, and he’s had very little competition for backfield touches this season. He typically hovers in the mid-60s in offensive snap percentage, so expect a decent game for the bruising fifth-year back. Get us that elusive fifth leg, Lenny!
