New York Giants - Giants confident of ending their disappointing losing streak

The Giants have started the season with a 6-1 record, with wins over the Titans, Panthers, Bears, Packers, Ravens, and Jaguars. Since then, New York's record has dropped to 1-3 as the Seahawks, the Lions, and the Cowboys have defeated them. The Giants led the Cowboys 13-7 at halftime of their Thanksgiving game.

Washington Commanders - Commanders proving strong recently

Washington's season got a rough start, as they dropped their first five games to the Lions, Eagles, Cowboys, and Titans. However, the Commanders would go on a five-game winning streak, defeating the Bears, Packers, Colts, Eagles, and Texans throughout those six games. On Sunday, against the Falcons, Washington extended their winning streak to three games. The Commanders maintained a steady scoring pace throughout the game, scoring in each of the four quarters on route to a 19-13 triumph. Brian Robinson ran the ball 18 times for 105 yards, and quarterback Taylor Heinicke threw for 138 yards and two touchdowns. The Commanders have covered the spread in six past seven games and four last five games against the NFC.

Expert Betting Tips

The score of this match is expected to be quite close. Washington has been playing well as of late, and in their most recent game, they defeated a winless Atlanta Falcons squad. In the game, Washington racked up 20 first downs and 314 total yards (176 runnings). However, in eight of their last nine games, the Commanders scored 23 points or less, so they must rely on their defense to secure a victory.
