EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) Odell Beckham Jr. says more than a couple of people scoffed last week when he said the New York Giants could win their final eight games and make the playoffs.

The NFL's highest-paid receiver knew it was a long shot when he made the statement and little has changed since the Giants beat the San Francisco 49ers 27-23 on Monday night. It's just seven games now.

Still, Beckham was not backing off the idea Thursday before the Giants (2-7) practiced for Sunday's game at MetLife Stadium against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-6).
