The New York Giants will take on the Washington Commanders is what might just be the most important game of the season for the two NFC East teams.

The Sunday Night Football showdown will serve as a rematch from a Week 13 matchup that saw the two teams play to a 20-20 draw.

The winner of tonight’s game will have an inside track to the playoffs, while the loser will need to make magic happen in the final weeks.

In this game, I’ll be breaking down my favorite player prop bets.

Let’s dive into them.

Best NFL Prop Bets for Giants vs. Commanders

  • Saquon Barkley OVER 65.5 Rushing Yards
  • Taylor Heinicke UNDER 81.5 Completions
  • Daniel Jones OVER 30.5 Rushing Yards

Saquon Barkley OVER 65.5 Rushing Yards

Saquon Barkley hasn’t shown his best stuff in recent weeks, but let’s have faith in he and the Giants rushing attack in this one. Despite largely shutting down Barkley in their previous meeting, the Commanders rank just 14th in the NFL in opponent yards per carry, giving up 4.4 yards per rush.

This is far from the best rush defense that Barkley has faced this season.

On top of that, he’s averaging 83.3 yards per game this season, way more than his set total for tonight of 65.5. The disrespect for Barkley is unacceptable. Believe in him and bank on him having a great game tonight.

Taylor Heinicke UNDER 18.5 Completions

The Washington Commanders have thrown the ball on only 45.93% if their plays over their last three games, that’s the fifth lowest rate in the NFL over that stretch. Now, they will face a Giants defense that is allowing the third lowest completion percentage amongst all NFL defenses, allowing a reception on only 60.84% of throws.

I’m willing to bet Heinicke not hitting 19 completions tonight.

Daniel Jones OVER 30.5 Rushing Yards

It’s prime time in a near must-win situation for the Giants. We know Daniel Jones is going to do anything and everything to get the job done, including running the ball himself. He ran for a blistering 71 yards against the Commanders in Week 13, and now he only has to run for 31 yards to cash this bet for us tonight.
