Washington Commanders vs New York Giants Prediction
I’ll probably stick with Washington. The Commanders defense kept the Bears in check last weekend, giving up 307 total yards (111 passing), 15 first downs and 2-of-12 on third-down tries. Washington gained 481 yards on offense (313 passing) with 23 first downs but went just 5-of-15 on third downs themselves.
As for the Giants, on Monday they played a pretty sloppy game with 11 penalties for 65 yards. The two turnovers and 5-of-15 effort on third downs from the offense wasn’t great either. New York gave up 427 yards total (259 passing) on defense. The Giants haven’t scored more than 18 points in any of the last three games (all losses), so they’ve got to get it moving here. I don’t quite think New York will cover in the end.
