Redskins Host Streaking Giants In NFC East Showdown

Bookmark and Share by Eric Williams

The New York Giants (10-1 SU, 9-2 ATS, 7-3-1- O/U) won their sixth consecutive game on Sunday, beating the Arizona Cardinals 37-29 as a 3-point road favorite in the BetUS Sportsbook.

The Washington Redskins (7-4 SU, 5-5-1 ATS, 2-8-1 O/U) snapped a two-game losing streak on Sunday, beating Seattle 20-17 as a 3-points road favorite.

Now, both longtime NFC East rivals will look to extend their winning ways when they meet on the gridiron at FedExField on Sunday.

Giants quarterback got the job done against Arizona, completing 26 of 33 passes for 240 yards and three touchdowns while running back Derrick Ward rushed for 69 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries with starting running back Brandon Jacobs sidelined.

"He just continues to do whatever has to be done to win a game," New York head coach Tom Coughlin said of Manning.

New York’s powerful defense, limited the Cardinals to just 23 yards rushing on 15 attempts.

The Redskins defeated Seattle as quarterback Jason Campbell completed 20 of 33 passes for 206 yards and one touchdown and veteran running back Clinton Portis rushed for 143 yards on 29 carries.

"That was a rough game for me," Portis said. "(But) my track is to try and just carry this team."

The Redskins held Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck to just 89 passing yards while intercepting him twice and sacking him on two other occasions.

NFL Odds

New York Giants -3½ -110

Washington Redskins +3½ -110

Over 41½ -110

Under 41½ -110

Analysis: I really like what Washington has done this season under Jim Zorn and believe they have a bright future together.

Having said that, I just don’t see them winning this game with New York clearly being the better team in all three football categories.

Take the G-Men to win and cover on the road.
