The New York Giants (2-6) host the Washington Commanders (6-2) on Sunday in a rematch from Week 2. Washington won the first battle, 21-18, when newly signed kicker Austin Seibert made all seven field goal attempts. Meanwhile, the Giants lost their kicker, Graham Gano, on the opening kickoff and had to play without a kicker.

Commanders vs. Giants prediction, pick:
Bryan Manning: Every time the Giants and Commanders play, it’s close. It doesn’t matter if one of the teams are good, or neither are good. This year, Washington is good, while New York is not. However, you can’t dismiss the Giants, who should’ve beaten the Commanders in Week 2 and were two Daniel Jones’ late turnovers away from taking down the Steelers on the road last week. I think this is another competitive game that comes down to the wire, but Jayden Daniels is too much for the Giants:

Ivan Lambert: Dexter Lawrence is the best defensive lineman in the division. The inside of the Washington offensive line will need to move Lawrence if they are going to run the ball well inside. The Giants defense looks better on paper with their personnel than they have performed this season.
But Brian Robinson Jr. is ailing and may be inactive, and the Commanders have elevated Chris Rodriquez to the roster for Sunday against the Giants.
After a hugely emotional win, this could be a test to see how well the Commanders were able to focus on the task at hand this week. Washington was very ineffective in the red zone in the first meeting against the Giants, and that showed up again last week against the Bears when they settled for four field goals before finally getting to the end zone via a Hail Mary.
Commanders 22, Giants 17
Serena Burks: The Commanders and the Giants have a long history. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has won more games against Washington than any other team, but this year it’s going to be different. The last time the Commanders swept the Giants was in 2021, and even with the historical play against Jones, Jayden Daniels is going to take over this game and not look back. Throw in the disconnect between Brian Daboll and his players and the undisciplined play leading to unforced errors, and the Commanders shouldn’t have any trouble on Sunday.
