The New York Giants (0-1) will visit the Washington Commanders (0-1) at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland on Sunday afternoon.
Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 2.5-point road underdogs but that spread has softened a bit with Washington -1.5 as of this writing.
Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 2 matchup:
| Expert | Pick | Score (if applicable) |
| Dan Graziano (ESPN) | Giants | N/A |
| Matt Bowen (ESPN) | Commanders | N/A |
| Seth Wickersham (ESPN) | Commanders | N/A |
| Pete Prisco (CBS) | Giants | 21-19 |
| John Breech (CBS) | Giants | 20-17 |
| Jordan Dajani (CBS) | Commanders | 21-16 |
| Nate Davis (USA TODAY) | Commanders | 25-17 |
| Lorenzo Reyes (USA TODAY) | Commanders | 17-14 |
| Bill Bender (Sporting News) | Commanders | 22-21 |
| Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News) | Commanders | 27-20 |
There’s little love being shown to the Giants after their ugly Week 1 performance, but the Commanders seem to be getting a pass on theirs. One could argue that’s due to recent trends but no trend is more entrenched than the Giants owning Washington in recent years.
Despite the Washington-heavy split, the entire expert panel sees this as a low-scoring contest that is settled by a single touchdown or less (save for Nate Davis, who sees the Commanders winning by eight — a touchdown and two-point conversion).
Other experts and NFL insiders feel equally confident in Washington with 81 percent picking the Commanders to win on Sunday, per NFL Pickwatch.
Fans are even more harsh with just 10 percent predicting a Giants upset victory.
