The Giants suffered their fourth straight loss last Sunday night, but New York had opportunities in a 14-9 setback at Buffalo.
New York cashed easily as a 15.5-point underdog and had an excellent chance to win, but couldn’t convert inside the 10-yard line in the final seconds for the go-ahead score.
The Giants return home for an NFC East battle with the Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium in NFL Week 7.
Commanders vs. Giants prediction
(Sunday, Oct. 22 | 1 p.m. ET, CBS)
The G-Men are seeking their first win since Week 2 at Arizona.
Quarterback Daniel Jones, who sat out the Buffalo loss with a neck injury, is questionable for the game.
Backup Tyrod Taylor didn’t lead New York into the end zone against the Bills, but the Giants didn’t turn the ball over either.
The Commanders are coming off a solid 24-16 road win at Atlanta last Sunday that ended a three-game losing streak.
Washington has covered in all three away games this season, including a Week 2 comeback victory at Denver.
The Giants went 1-0-1 against Washington last season, tying the Commanders home before beating them at FedEx Field, 20-12.
New York has covered in four of the last five matchups with Washington, but the Giants haven’t beaten the Commanders at MetLife since 2020.
Betting on the NFL?
New York has lost its two home games by 40 (Cowboys) and 21 (Seahawks) points, respectively, this season, so it’s hard to have a lot of faith in this Giants team.
The quarterback play is in question also for New York with Jones’ availability, but the offense has struggled so much it’s not worth backing them, even as a home underdog.
The pick: Commanders -3 (-105, FanDuel)
