The Buccaneers vs Giants live stream begins at 8:15 p.m. ET/ 5:15 p.m. PT tonight (Monday, Nov. 2) on ESPN.

Tonight's Buccaneers vs Giants live stream is about to begin, and it’s between two teams that are polar opposites in the NFL. With a record of 5-2, Tampa Bay is surging, while the 1-6 Giants find themselves in the basement of a dreadful NFL East.

So you might not be surprised to learn that the Bucs are currently favored by 12.5 points even with the Giants playing at home. This is one NFL live stream that could get ugly but the Giants are actually leading 17-15 in the fourth quarter. 

The biggest star among these two teams this season has been Tom Brady, who ended two decades with the New England Patriots to become the Buccaneers new quarterback this year. In just seven games, Brady has thrown a whopping 18 touchdowns (and run in two more). 

The comparison with Giants' QB Daniel Jones couldn't be starker. Jones has thrown just five touchdowns this season (and seven interceptions). His QBR is a measly 60.6. With poor protection, Jones is also forced to play double-duty as leading rusher for the Giants, with 31 carries for 296 yards. That's what happens when your star running back (Saquon Barkley) has a season-ending ACL injury. 

Contrast that to a team with an actual ground game strategy. The Buccaneers lead rusher, running back Ronald Jones II, has 110 carries for 506 yards and 4 touchdowns. In fact, has had a 100-yard rusher (that’s not a QB) in 4 out of its 7 games. 

One more telling stat: While Tampa is averaging 31.7 points per game, New York is scoring just 17.4.

Add it all up and it's hard to imagine an outcome in New York's favor. But you never know. Here's how to watch the Bucs vs Giants live stream online.
