Giants vs. Commanders Prediction
I’m on the Commanders here. Historically, the Giants have had a ton of success against the Commanders, but I’m really concerned about the Giants this season. Daniel Jones may not have a starting job for much longer and there’s just a long list of issues that I have with the Giants. The Commanders on the other side still have some work to do, but this is still a solid roster that’s got pieces to work around and I think that Jayden Daniels does enough with his arm and his legs to get Washington the win and cover here.
