Betting Odds
Point Spread: Redskins +4/Giants -4
Total Line: 43.5
Washington are starting to build up a strong defence these days, something which was proven in the first two weeks of the season. The Redskins’ rushing tactics have come a long way. Despite losing their first week game against the Miami Dolphins, Washington’s Alfred Morris rushed for 123 of the team’s total 161 yards, while their second week win over St.Louis saw them claim 184 rushing yards, 123 of which came from Matt Jones, who also claimed two touchdowns. The success of their running attack will be crucial in beating out the Giants this week.
As it stands, the Redskins are currently 1-1 in the 2015 season so far. They’ve claimed 361 offensive yards, made up of 189.5 pass yards and 171.5 rush yards, ranking them 1st for the latter. An overall ranking in yards gained places them in 11th position. They’ve only given up 234.5 yards to their opposition so far as well, which ranks Washington in first position, and they’ll need to keep their defence in check once more.
New York, on the other hand, need to maintain consistent play throughout their games. Generally, the Giants tend to captivate in the opening moments of their games, before slowing down and collapsing in the final quarter, which has led to their 0-2 scorecard so far. Last week saw them fall 24-20 to the Atlanta Falcons in their home town. However, it isn’t all doom and gloom for New York’s Giants, as Odell Beckham Jr. appears to have returned to his former self, claiming seven catches for 146 yards and a touchdown last week.
The 2015 NFL regular season stats show that collectively, the Giants have claimed 338.5 yards so far, ranking them 18th overall for offence. Eli Manning has completed 47 of his 76 attempted passes for 485 yards, and also claimed two touchdowns in the process, while rushing strength from Rashad Jennings has seen him carry 22 for 64 yards and a single touchdown. However, their defensive line needs to tighten up on interceptions, as they’re currently bottom of the pack, having given up 351 pass yards this season.

Free NFL Pick
The Redskins have out yarded both of their foes this season and if not for a punt return for a TD by the Dolphins this team could be 2-0. The NY Giants have failed to rush for 100 yards in either of their games this season and that’s something that Washington has excelled at this season all owing 70.5 yards per carry. New York has won the last four in this series and this Week 3 game based on last season is their weakness opponent so far this season. But, Manning just doesn’t look right and until he does, we’re not going to lay points and back this Giants team.
