The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming off a big win against a division rival as they take on the New York Giants this week. The Giants just lost a devastating shootout against the New Orleans Saints. Here are five bold predictions for this Sunday.

The Giants lead the NFL with 13 interceptions and lead the league with a plus-10 turnover margin. Even though the Giants' defense is arguably the worst in the NFL, they still manage to get turnovers and Winston is still a rookie.

Opposing quarterbacks have a 71.1 completion percentage against the Bucs with 17 touchdown passes and only four INTs. Manning is coming off a huge passing game against the Saints and really seemed to be in sync with both Odell Beckham Jr. and Rueben Randle.

Bucs defensive tackle Clinton McDonald went on IR Tuesday, which is a big blow to the Tampa Bay front four. Rashad Jennings has been stronger the last few games. With the injury to Orleans Darkwa and the lack of production from Andre Williams, he will likely see more carries.

2. Doug Martin Will Rush For 2 TDs

The once stout Giants run defense has turned into a sieve in recent weeks, namely against Darren McFadden and the Cowboys. Against the second-ranked Falcons run defense, the Bucs rushed for 117 yards. Doug Martin averages 4.6 yards per carry and has been hot as of late.

Jason Pierre-Paul has returned to practice this week and has a shot at playing this Sunday against the Bucs. If he plays, it will be in a limited role at best, but he could give a spark to the Giants' pass rush and get to Winston.
