New York Giants vs Washington Commanders Picks and Prediction
Pick: Washington Commanders -3.5 (-115)
Washington will have a good opportunity to get back on track Sunday afternoon when the Giants come to town for an NFC East matchup. The Commanders have struggled through the first four weeks, but they have enough talent to challenge a New York team that has gotten off to a strong start. The Giants will look to build on their victory over Arizona, but playing on the road against a division opponent could create some difficult situations. Washington will need to establish its offense early and avoid allowing New York to create momentum through turnovers. The Commanders should benefit from playing at home and will have opportunities to move the football against the Giants. Look for Washington to make enough plays to secure an important division victory.
Pick: Over 41.5 (-115)
New York and Washington could produce plenty of offensive opportunities Sunday when the two NFC East rivals meet. The Giants are coming off a 36-point performance against Arizona and will look to continue that offensive success against a Washington defense that has struggled in recent weeks. The Commanders have allowed at least 30 points in three consecutive games and could have trouble slowing down New York. Washington will need to answer offensively and should have opportunities to move the football against the Giants. Both teams have enough talent to create big plays, and neither defense has been completely reliable. Expect a competitive division matchup with both offenses finding success and pushing the combined score over the total.
