Bet on Giants vs. Redskins

The Giants are coming off a surprising 24-19 loss at Philadelphia in Week 16 to fall to 10-5 on the season. New York has locked up the fifth seed in the NFC playoffs and that won’t change with a win or loss, so they may be looking to rest some starters in this one. New York has been strong with the under, going 11-4 with it this year. They have hit the under in six of their last seven games. New York gives up 18.3 points and 356.8 yards per game on defense this season, but the offense only produces 19.4 points and 339.9 yards per game. The Giants lack much of a run game, averaging just 83.4 yards per game on the ground. Odell Beckham Jr. is the team’s only real playmaker on offense. He has 96 catches for 1,323 yards and 10 touchdowns, but the next closest receiver is Sterling Shepard with 653 yards. Eli Manning has thrown for 3,847 yards and 26 touchdowns this year, but also has 16 interceptions.

Though New York has a great defense, the Giants still struggled against the Redskins earlier this year. The Giants also don’t have many reasons to play up for this game and will likely be without Janoris Jenkins and Eli Apple in the secondary due to injuries. Washington should be able to take advantage of that and score some points while the Giants should also be able to move the ball against a weak Washington defense.
