Meanwhile, the Bucs (4-5) just snapped a three game losing skid with a 16-13 win over the Rams, pushing as 3-point home favorites.

The Bucs are 7-2 to the under this season.
Houston Texans at New York Giants (-6.5, 40)
The Texans (1-6-1) own the worst record in the NFL and just lost to the Eagles 29-17 but covered as 14-point home dogs. On the flip side, the Giants (6-2) are coming off a bye and just fell to the Seahawks 27-13 their last time out, failing to cover as 3-point road dogs.
