Commanders at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Commanders 20, Giants 13

Moneyline

PASS.

The Giants seem like a wounded animal midway through the season. The Commanders (-210) are poised to end any chance of the New York salvaging their campaign, but I’ll take the better odds on the spread.

Against the spread

BET COMMANDERS -4 (-110).

In their Week 2 matchup, the Commanders narrowly defeated the Giants 21-18, a win that kickstarted Washington’s successful season. While the Giants won both games last year, this season seems poised for a reversal. The Commanders were only -1 favorites in their first meeting but have since earned a 3-point boost as road favorites.

In that initial game, Daniels threw for 226 yards but failed to reach the end zone. However, he has since flourished, completing 70.6% of his passes with 7 touchdowns and 2 rushing scores over his last 5 games, averaging 330 passing yards and 48.4 rushing yards (excluding the Carolina game). The Giants will look to apply pressure, having sacked Daniels 5 times in their last encounter, but he has gained confidence since then. If New York’s offense struggles to stay on the field, Washington’s 6-1-1 ATS record could lead to another victory.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 44.5 (-110).

Although their first meeting ended with a combined score of 39 points, the total has bloomed to 44.5. This increase reflects the strength of Washington’s offense, which has tallied 34 or more points in 4 of their last 6 games. However, the Commanders only managed 18 points last week as Daniels coped with rib pain. The Giants, on the other hand, have struggled offensively, scoring over 18 points just twice this season. With the Under hitting in 6 of their 8 games and 4-1-1 in their last 6 meetings, this matchup could lean towards low-scoring.
