The Washington Football Team (6-10) visit the New York Giants (4-12) for a Week 18 game Sunday at Met Life Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Washington vs. Giants odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
Washington announced Feb. 2 is the day it will change the team name but it’s otherwise been a quiet week ahead of this meaningless NFC East game. Washington held off the Giants 30-29 in a Week 2 Thursday Night Football battle at FedEx Field as the Over easily hit.
The Giants struggled in a 29-3 loss at Chicago last weekend, posting a season-low in points. It was a fifth consecutive loss and non-cover for the G-Men, as they play out the string.

Washington at Giants odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Washington 27, Giants 9
Money line
Washington (-340) will cost you three and a half times your potential return, and that’s risky business for a sub-.500 team on the road.
AVOID.
Against the spread
WASHINGTON -6.5 (-120) is much more reasonably priced laying the points. Yes, it’s risky playing a team on the road laying so much, especially in a meaningless game.
However, the Giants are down to their third-string QB for this one with Daniel Jones (neck) on injured reserve and Mike Glennon (wrist) out. The last time we saw QB Jake Fromm make a start it was an absolute disaster. Expect more of the same, as the WFT defense gets after him.
Over/Under
The UNDER 37.5 (-110) is a low number, but the Giants shouldn’t do much of anything on offense. New York scored just three against the Bears last week, and WFT ranks 22nd in the NFL with just 19.6 PPG themselves. The one thing the Giants actually do well — run the ball — is against the strength of the eighth-ranked WFT rush defense.
