Get ready for a Monday Night Football showdown that’s dripping with drama! New England Patriots quarterback Tommy DeVito isn’t holding back his feelings about facing his former team, the New York Giants. But here’s where it gets controversial: DeVito, once a fan favorite in the Big Apple, is now openly rooting for the Patriots to blow out the Giants. ‘When I was there, it was ‘Go Giants,’ but now it’s ‘Go Pats’ all the way,’ DeVito told MassLive’s Karen Guregian, leaving no doubt about where his loyalties lie. And this is the part most people miss: even though DeVito isn’t expected to take the field, his insider knowledge of the Giants’ playbook could be a game-changer—or is it? Patriots coach Mike Vrabel isn’t convinced, dismissing the idea that DeVito’s insights could predict the Giants’ next move. ‘Unless Tommy can tell us what play’s coming next, I don’t know if he’s going to be able to help us,’ Vrabel said, sparking a debate: Can a former player’s experience truly tip the scales? DeVito’s two-year stint with the Giants was a rollercoaster, complete with a 65.3% completion rate, eight touchdowns, and a bittersweet exit after being cut just before the 2025 season. Now, as the 10-2 Patriots gear up to face the struggling 2-10 Giants, DeVito’s bold statement adds fuel to an already fiery matchup. But let’s not forget the injuries plaguing both teams—Will Campbell for the Patriots, Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo for the Giants—which could level the playing field in unexpected ways. So, here’s the burning question: Is DeVito’s hope for a blowout realistic, or is he underestimating his former team’s resilience? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—this is one game you won’t want to miss!
