The Giants Have Beaten Washington Five Times In A Row

The Giants head into Thursday Night Football on a hot streak vs Washington, but aren't favored to win...even vs a backup QB👇 (3 minute read)

Welcome Larry and Jake! Appreciate you joining us 🙏

Thursday Night Football Preview

The New York Giants will take on the Washington Football Team at FedEx Field in Landover, MD, in what is a massive Week Two TNF game

  • Line: Washington -3.5

  • O/U: 40.5

Washington is seeking payback, having dropped five in a row to the Giants dating back to December of 2018

  • Last season, Washington won the NFC East with a 7-9 record but went 4-2 within the division (both losses came against the Giants)

  • The Giants finished tied for second at 6-10 but also went 4-2 in the NFC East

The line originally opened up at Giants +3 but has bounced between +3.5 and +4 throughout the week. Books are clearly down on the G-Men since they are going up against a backup QB and still not getting any love from Vegas

Player Spotlights

Each team is armed with the weapons to swing the game’s result. Here are a few takeaways from Week 1

  • NYG QB Daniel Jones threw and ran for a TD, but continues to have ball security problems, as he fumbled once again

  • NYG RB Saquon Barkley had 27 total yards, showing some rust after returning from a torn ACL. However, he set a career-high 279 total scrimmage yards in his last game vs Washington back in 2019

  • Taylor Heinicke, who almost beat Brady in the playoffs last season, will start under center for Washington. Look for him to sling it, as he attempted 44 passes in his last start

However, the most important matchup might be the battle up-front. The WFT’s excellent D-line matches up well against a weak Giants O-line which has had problems protecting their QB

The NFC East Big Picture

The NFC East has been extremely close over the past few seasons. As a refresher, take a look at Division title odds after one week of football

  • Cowboys: +145

  • Washington: +240

  • Eagles: +280

  • Giants: +600

Both teams involved in tonight’s action should consider this a must-win to keep pace with the 1-0 Eagles. The Cowboys were also impressive last Thursday, so getting wins before facing Dallas is important to any team hoping to win the NFC East

To say this is a big game is an understatement…

The Player Prop Parlay

In their two losses to the Giants last season, Washington RBs averaged 11.5 receptions and 86 yards. As the clear lead-back, Antonio Gibson should see plenty of work tonight, especially after carrying the ball 20 times and leading the team in targets

Stacking these four Gibson props is a fun way for a +450 payout:

  • 4+ Antonio Gibson receptions

  • 55+ Antonio Gibson rushing yards

  • 1+ Antonio Gibson TD

  • 15+ Antonio Gibson receiving yards

Shoutout to Giants HC Joe Judge if this hits 😂
