Game outlook

New York is on the road playing Washington at the FedEx Field stadium on Sunday, 12/18/2022 @ 8:20pm EST. Washington -4.5 was the opening favorite and line hasn't moved.

It's a big NFC East game this Sunday Night Football as the Giants play the Washington Commanders. Both teams are 7-5-1 and need to win this one so they can stay on track for the playoffs. The Giants have stumbled a bit recently as they've lost three games and tied one. The underdog G-Men have long been written off as a complete fluke, but I'm going with them. To begin with, these teams just played each other a couple of weeks ago, and they couldn't have been any more evenly matched.

As of now, New York has lost 3 times to the Lions, Cowboys and Eagles, the three hot teams in the NFC. The criticism of the Giants and Daniel Jones has gotten out of hand, so now is the time to buy low. Heinicke has been struggling lately, but I like him. He took 5 sacks against the same Giants pass-rush last week before their bye. Last week, he threw for only 138 yards against the abysmal Falcons defense.

New York Betting

With a power ranking of 23, New York is ranked #21 in offense (scoring an average of 20.42 per game), #12 in defense (allowing an average of 21.00 points to be scored against them per game) and are 7-5-1 (9-4 ATS) this season.

Washington Betting

Washington Football Team has a power ranking of 11 and are #24 for offense (scoring an average of 19.46 per game), #10 for defense (giving up an average of 21.00 points per game) and 7-5-1 (7-5-1 ATS) overall. New York went 2-0-1 (1-2 ATS) in their last 3 matchups against Washington.

Staff Prediction

***Over 40.5*** New York is banged up on defense, and won't have their best pass rusher in Chase Young. Heinicke struggled with the blitzes Wink Martindale sent at him in the first matchup, but I look for Washington to move the pocket and plot their way down the field. Biased pick here because I really like Heinicke's game and also I think the Giants are a bad team and have checked it in for the year.

Score prediction: Giants 17 to Commanders 31
