Who plays Monday night football tonight, Week 11? Game, times, TV
Make sure you don't miss the Week 11 Monday Night Football match-up between the New York Giants and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Florida.
The New York Giants travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers in a matchup between two teams with widely different scorecards.
The Giants sit at the bottom of the NFC East (3-6) while the Buccaneers are leading the NFC South teams with a 6-3 record.
Angry and hungry Buccaneers
Tampa Bay is coming from back-to-back losses- against the New Orleans Saints (36-27) in Week 8 and the Washington Football Team (29-19) in a major upset in Week 10. Tom Brady and the offensive crew will be hungry to notch another win at their home turf.
Their performance at home has been topnotch this season, with a perfect 4-0 slate. The Bucs lead the league in passing yards per game (315.6) as well as passing touchdowns (27).
The health of tight end Rob Gronkowski and wide receiver Antonio Brown will also be a factor in the matchup, with both having missed time on the field due to injuries.
After their embarrassing loss to Washington, the Bucs are likely eager to show why they are the reigning Super Bowl champions.

Giants aim for upset
The Giants meanwhile are desperate to increase their win tally in order to make the playoffs. They are coming off a bye in Week 10 and a 23-16 win against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9.
The team may also get a boost from running back Saquon Barkley who is expected to return to action in Monday’s game. Barkley hurt his ankle in the Giants’ loss to the Dallas Cowboys in October and has been sidelined for the last three games. Wide receiver Kenny Golladay is also set to be back this week, and the Giants are hoping to see their highest-paid playmaker completing plays in the end zone.
Although the Buccaneers are favored to win this game, the Giants could compete well and limit the Bucs with the defense they displayed in the past three weeks. With a healthier Giants squad, this game could end up being closer than expected.
