The New York Giants are favored to win against the Washington Redskins. Las Vegas has been churning out predictions every day. Injuries played a role with the injury to running back on both teams. Illnesses on the Giants defense have not subsided. Nevertheless, place your bets early, folks.
Past As Support for Tilted Odds
So far, the Giants offense scored 36 points and allowed not much less in points. According to the most recent ESPN quarterback passing ratings, Manning’s quarterback rating demands our consideration of 110.3, or 8th overall. A marked improvement compared to the end of last season (13th overall). Kirk Cousins has not been living up to his potential and does not have comparable talent that the Giants have acquired thanks to GM Jerry Reese earlier in the year.
According to Lastwordonprofootball.com’s Tom McGowan, the Giants will win owing to the fact that Beckham ham will have closure to his unsportsmanlike behavior last year against Josh Norman, known as “the dive.”
"Josh Norman and Odell Beckham Jr.have an infamous rivalry. Their battle escalated when Beckham left his feet and dove at Norman’s head last season. Even though OBJ was not ejected, it hurt his team the next week since he was suspended for the game against the Minnesota Vikings. Beckham needs to stay on the field if the Giants want to win."
Even red and yellow bleeding Redskins fans admit that Manning’s offensive line and palette of wide receivers to choose from will cause the odds to be tilted in the Giants favor. The subjective will of a fan wants only to win. A healthy dosage of objectivity makes this a no-brainer.
Redskins not in best shape
The Redskins are division rivals but are not living up to their reputation of late with a 0-2 record. McGowan’s predictions will likely mirror the Giants game plan of using its bend-but-not break defense. The Giants can exploit the Redskins’ weak secondary.
As of September 21, Vegas Insider reports the Giants -175 and the Redskins +210. These numbers have not fluctuated since last sudsy.
So, place the money you’ve tucked away underneath your mattress on the Giants. It is a long shot to think that Kirk Cousins and his offensive line can outscore Eli Manning despite his famously brutish post-game spiels.
