The last thing the New York Giants want to see is an across-the-board consensus that they should win on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers: they had that against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1, and now they're 0-1.

But that's what they have, as experts from every major site expect a win from the Super Bowl champions over the Buccaneers. Here's what Joel Thorman had to say in his Week 2 NFL Picks:

The Pick: 30-20, Giants

The Giants were the pick of all 12 pickers at ESPN, all eight at CBS, both at Yahoo, and all six at USA Today. The Giants were also the pick from ESPN and CBS' prediction algorithms as well as the majority of pickers in pools at both ESPN and Yahoo, all of which were also the case in Week 1.
