Commanders vs Giants Prediction
The current betting odds have the Giants listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Giants have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-11 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the NFC East with one of the worst records in the entire NFL. They haven't looked great on their home field either with their 2-3 home record this year. Meanwhile, the Commanders have looked terrible in their games this season with their 3-10 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the NFC East. They have been a terrible road team too with their 1-5 road record this year. The Commanders have been dealing with a lot of injuries this season and it has led to a disaster of a season, less than a year after making the NFC Championship. They have been one of the worst teams in the NFL lately with 8 losses in a row now and they are off a 31-0 loss to the Vikings in their last one. The offense looked terrible, even with Jayden Daniels coming back from his injury, and he ended up leaving the game injured again anyway. The Commanders really have nothing left to play for this season. The Giants don't have much to play for either and they have also been dealing with a lot of injuries to key players in their lineup, but they have still been showing a lot of fight in their games, making them close at times. They are off a 33-15 loss to the Patriots in their last one, but they are coming out of their bye week now so they have had extra time to prepare for this game. Dart is still playing to gain some NFL experience for next season so he is going to bring his best effort to lead this Giants offense, and even though the Giants are 2-11 this year, they haven't looked like a 2-11 team. The best way to place a bet here is on the Giants to cover the spread in this game.
