Commanders vs Giants Prediction
The current betting odds have the Commanders listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Commanders have looked really good in their games this season with their 6-2 record overall which has them leading the NFC East with one of the best records in the entire NFL. They haven't looked as good in their road games with their 2-2 road record, but they have been really tough to beat with their rookie QB Jayden Daniels. Meanwhile, the Giants have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-6 record overall which has them at the bottom of the NFC East with one of the worst records in the entire NFL. They have been worse in their home games this season too, going 0-4 in their home games, and they are coming off another loss in their last one to the Steelers on Monday night. This is going to be a shorter week for them with that Monday night game and they definitely haven't been playing their best at home this season. They already lost to the Commanders in Washington early this year and that game was really close, but it was also in the 2nd week of the season and Washington has come a long way as a team since then. The Commanders are rolling right now with a solid offense and even their defense has looked better lately. The Giants won't be able to keep up on offense with the way this Commanders team has improved from their last meeting. The best way to place a bet here is on the Commanders to cover the spread in this game.
Commanders Giants Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 3, 2024 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Commanders 28 Giants 9.
