New York Giants vs. Washington Commanders Prediction
I’m on the under in this game. Two teams with a lot of quesiton marks at QB as you have to wonder how long the Giants can keep this up with Jameis Winston, and there’s rumblings that Jayden Daniels can return for Washington but you also have to wonder about the status of his health. I think this is a lower scoring game with a lot of messing around between the 20s. Give me the under.
