When the New York Giants and Washington Commanders played to a tie a month ago, the ending was all anyone wanted to talk about. Both teams committed overtime blunders to spoil potential wins -- with Washington's time management at the end standing out as the most egregious error.
However, what those errors overshadowed was a shootout of a second half that saw the teams combine for five touchdowns over the final two quarters. There will be adjustments on both sides for Thursday night's game, but bettors can still expect to see both teams put up a few points. These are my favorite anytime touchdown scorer picks for the game.
Malik Nabers (+165)
Listen, take your pick between Isaiah Likely (+200) and Nabers, but when the Giants reach the red area, I think Washington's
defense will pay more attention to the tight end with four touchdowns in the last four games (including two against Washington a month ago). That should leave Nabers opportunities to repeat what he did that previous matchup against the Commanders when he caught for 121 yards and a touchdown of his own.
Jayden Daniels (+250)
Daniels absolutely wrecked New York's defense in their first meeting, rushing for a season-high 103 yards with two touchdowns. And while that should make him a bigger focus for New York's defense, Daniels picks his spots to run so well. He'll lull the Giants to sleep with his pinpoint passing and catch them getting too aggressive, losing contain at least once. And that one time could be costly.
Devin Singletary (+270)
I'm big game hunting with this pick, because Cam Skattebo (+105) is expected back for the Giants, which could significantly reduce Singletary's role. However, Singletary remains the team's primary backup and with about as many catches as the starter, I wouldn't be surprised to see New York utilize him as a receiving threat near the red zone to catch Washington more off guard than a simple Skattebo handoff up the middle.
