The New York Giants open Week 10 as scant 1.5-point favorites at home over the Washington Commanders per FanDuel.
The Giants rose to 5-2-1 on the season after their 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. It was a much-needed win that greatly improved the Giants’ chances of winning the NFC East. The Commanders, meanwhile, lost to the Los Angeles Rams 20-13 in a hard-fought game.
While Washington fell to 2-5-1 on the season and are on the road, the short turnaround favors them as the Giants
are dealing with injury in the backfield. Cam Skattebo missing Week 9 with a hamstring injury and quarterback J.J. McCarthy suffered a hip injury that sent him back to the locker room and had him limping after he came back into the game.
The Commanders are dealing with injuries themselves, however uncertainty at the quarterback position is significant on a short week.
The Giants will need to take care of business at home to maintain their lead in the division. Likewise, they’re hoping that Skattebo can return and redeem himself after the fumble that led to the tie when these teams last played. On defense, the Giants will surely look to see if Jayden Daniels has an answer for the Cover-0 blitz.
The Giants and Commanders tied 27-27 in Week 5.
