Washington Commanders vs NY Giants Prediction

The Commanders haven’t won a game against the Giants since January 2022, so there’s reason to consider the free points. The problem is the Giants have no answer at the quarterback position, and it makes them hard to back with cheap lines or on the road. Jayden Daniels showed some things in his rookie debut, and I’d assume he’ll be more comfortable in his first home game. I have no hope for Daniels and this Giants offense. The Giants are 3-6 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog. I’ll lay the small chalk with the Commanders at home.
