Tampa Bay wide receiver Antonio Brown is expected to be inactive vs the New York Giants

TAMPA BAY, Fla. – The New York Giants head down to the Sunshine State to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in this week’s edition of Monday Night Football.

Online sportsbooks have made the Buccaneers 11-point home favorites, and have given this game a high total of 49.5 points. The Bucs are expected to be without wide receiver Antonio Brown, which should open up the door for Chris Godwin to pass his receiving prop totals.

Antonio Brown Set To Be Inactive

In the past three games without Antonio Brown, Godwin has received 28.2%, 29.3%, and 24.2% of the team’s targets.

Legal sports betting sites have given -115 odds for Chris Godwin to go over 71.5 receiving yards against the New York Giants – something he’s accomplished in two of his past three games.

Antonio Brown has been ruled out after attempting to receive a fake COVID-19 vaccine card, which will open up the door for Godwin to excel for another week.

Defensive Attention To Mike Evans

Chris Godwin has benefited from Mike Evans receiving coverage from boundary corners and shadow treatment.

In the three games Evans has drawn one-on-one attention, Godwin has had games of 9-105-1 (14 targets), 5-43-0 (five targets), and 8-140-1 (12 targets). Mike Evans is expected to receive boundary coverage from New York Giants cornerback James Bradberry, which should enable Chris Godwin to thrive.

Evans has only cleared 70 yards twice in the eight times that he has been matched up against James Bradberry.

Chris Godwin Anytime Touchdown

NFL betting sites have given Chris Godwin +115 odds to score a touchdown against the New York Giants. As 11-point home favorites, Godwin should have plenty of opportunities to score.

With an easier defensive matchup than Mike Evans, look for Godwin to thrive.
