PUBLIC BETTING: As of this writing, nearly 70% of tickets are on the Redskins to cover the spread on Thanksgiving night.

KEY TRENDS: The under is 4-1 in the last five meetings between these two teams in Washington and has cashed in eight of the last 11 meetings overall. The underdog is also 10-3 against the spread in the last 13 meetings between these two teams and the Giants have cashed in six of their last eight games against the Redskins.

The over is 4-1 in the Giants' last five games versus NFC opponents, is 4-1 in their last five road games versus a team with a losing home record and has cashed in all four of their last four games played on Thursday.

On the other side, the over is 9-2 in the Redskins' last 11 division games, is 24-7 in their last 31 games overall, and is 22-7 in their last 29 conference games. The over has also hit in 11 of Washington's last 15 home games, is 5-1 in its last six games in November, and is 14-2 in the team's last 16 games versus a team with a losing record.
