NEW YORK GIANTS -3
For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this game is on the Giants:
New York's latest defeat cost them any realistic chance of winning the NFC East, but they could still be in good position to reach the playoffs if they take care of business against seemingly inferior competition.
A dominating defense was what led the Giants on their Super Bowl run two seasons ago, and the unit was again one of the best in the league last year as New York went 12-4 to earn the top seed in the NFC; although its stumbled lately, I look for it to step up on the national stage.
It's true that New York is just 1-7 ATS its last eight overall, but dating back to last season its an awesome 17-5 ATS its last 22 on the road. It's also a dominant 5-1-1 ATS its last seven when playing Washington.
On the other side of the field: Washington has played better lately, but will be facing a very determined and focused team and will have its hands full if the Giants’ offense plays like it did Sunday night, when it racked up a season-high 512 total yards. Manning threw for a career-high 391 yards and three touchdowns, including strikes of more than 60 yards
Washington has been better lately, but always struggles at home; the Redskins are a poor 3-9 ATS their last 12 in front of the hometown crowd.
Bottom line: The Redskins have plenty off field issues to contend with right now and will face a team that is desperate to finish the season strong and which has had great success over them; look for NEW YORK to improve to a perfect 3-0 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record and for Washington to fall to 4-7 ATS vs. conference opponents.
*10* GIANTS.
