The New York Giants (0-5) will host the Washington Football Team (1-4) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday afternoon in the second NFC East battle for both teams.
Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 3.5-point home favorites, but that line has slipped to +2.5 at the time of this writing.
Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 6 matchup:
Expert | Pick | Score (if applicable) |
Mina Kimes (ESPN) | Giants | N/A |
Matt Bowen (ESPN) | Giants | N/A |
Dan Graziano (ESPN) | Washington | N/A |
Pete Prisco (CBS) | Giants | 23-17 |
Jason La Canfora (CBS) | Giants | N/A |
Ryan Wilson (CBS) | Giants | N/A |
Nate Davis (USA TODAY) | Giants | 20-17 |
Lorenzo Reyes (USA TODAY) | Washington | 23-21 |
Bill Bender (Sporting News) | Washington | 19-17 |
Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News) | Giants | 20-16 |
It’s strange to see the Giants as favorites — it’s been a while. It’s also strange to see most of the experts picking them even though there were a few holdouts.
What isn’t strange is that most expect this to be a close, low-scoring game that will likely come down to the final whistle. That’s been a staple of the Giants all season anyway, so there’s no reason to believe that’s going to change in Week 6.
Pete Prisco has the Giants winning by the largest margin (6), while Bill Bender and Lorenzo Reyes expect a two-point victory for Washington.
