NFL Free Pick: Take New York. The Giants have some major injury concerns heading into the offseason and their limited cap space hurt their opportunity to address certain needs (I.e. tight end). That said, the Giants have opened the Redskins over the years and should start off the season on the right foot. According to latest NFL trends, the Giants are 4-1-1 against the spread in their last six games against the Redskins and 4-1 ATS in their last five road games versus Washington. The favorite is also 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings, while the Redskins are 1-4-1 ATS in their lat six games in September. If the Giants can contain Washington’s rushing attack (which was sharp in preseason), then the front four should be able to get to Rex Grossman early and often.
