This team has a habit of laying eggs in New York, especially after they seem to have some kind of momentum. Also, at 0-2, the Giants are going to be pushing the desperation button, probably going to be opening up their offense trying to push the ball downfield to get points.

Historically this is a game we feel good about going into for good reason, and then get humbled on national TV and come out of thinking "same ol' redskins, ugh"

I think on paper and from what we have seen from both teams so far, we have a great opportunity to go in there and beat this NYG team up, but finishing drives and getting TDs, not FGs will be essential.

I will go out on a limb here and say:

Redskins 23
NYG 16

Lets do thiiiiiiiiiiis!

Teams playing road games on Thursday night on a short week in a city with two NFL teams and home to a current presidential candidate are 6-31-1 against the spread.

It is a huge trap game.

That being said, we are going to win.

They have a banged up DL, and injuries at LB and CB. I think we will move the ball similar to the previous weeks, keep it close and win a tight one.

I will also predict our D keeps Larry Donnell's name from being mentioned as a pro bowl TE. Polar opposite of last year.
