New York -3.5
Over/Under: 44
Washington- The Washington Redskins come in at 1-1 on the year as they lost their opening game at home to the Dolphins by a score of 17-10, while bouncing back last week with a 24-10 home win over St Louis. Their play so far really hasn’t been good overall, but then again it really wasn’t expected to be. The Redskins are predicted to finish i last place in the NFC East and that is most likely were they will end up. Their Hasn’t been terrible so far as they have averaged 361.5 ypg in the early going, but mental mistakes like 70.5 penalty ypg has really kept the offense from sustaining scoring drives. The ground attack has been excellent so far as they have churned out 171.5 ypg on the ground and at 4.6 ypc. Alfred Morris is healthy and is showing just how valuable he is as he has rushed for 180 yards through the first 2 games. Cousins has been good at the WB slot as he comes in with 91.1 QBR. The defense has been very good and comes in ranked first in yards allowed (234.5 ypg) and 3rd in points allowed (13.5 ppg).
New York- Boy did the Giants blow one vs the Cowboys on in their opening game of the year. First they failed to score from the 1 yard line late in the 4 th quarter and then allowed Dallas to march down the field in the closing minute to grab the go ahead score. The Giants had this game all but won and they let it go as Dallas came from behind to win 27-26. The Giants followed that tough loss with a 24-20 home loss to he Falcons. Now the Giants are 0-2 on the year and the heat is getting put on Coughlin once again. The offense hasn’t really been the issue as they have put up 338 ypg and 23 ppg so far, but that defense has been a mess so far, allowing 419.5 ypg and 25.5 ppg. The good news is that the Eagles and Skins have no offense right now and Romo & Bryant are gone from the Cowboys for a while. The Giants still have a good shot at winning their division, but still that defense must improve.

[302] New York -3.5 over Washington
The New York Giants are not as bad as they have played thus far. They have the better offense in this game by far and the defenses are rather even, despite the fact that the stats say differently. The Giants took on two very good offenses, while the Skins played Miami and St Louis, who just don’t have scary offenses. The Giants are 6-1 ATS their last 7 games on Thursday night, while the Skins are just 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 on Thursday night and they are just 30701 ATS their last 11 trips to New York to take on the Giant. Washington still isn’t a good team and the Giants will finally put a full game together and get their first win of the year by at least 7 points.
