Washington Commanders vs New York Giants Prediction: Focus on total points in this opener

Washington Commanders vs New York Giants Prediction and Odds on the Match on September 07, 2025

The Washington Commanders will take on the New York Giants at Northwest Stadium in a divisional matchup in National Football League round one fixture. The Washington Commanders did not record a single win in the preseason and will hope to prove a point in this encounter while the New York Giants look to extend their winning run to four after a decent preseason. I will look into the match previews from betting perspectives and justify the options that have been chosen. 

Washington Commanders: Form and Statistics

The Washington Commanders had their best performance in 2025 since 1991, pulling off a 12-5 record. In those wins, the Washington Commanders defeated the Cleveland Browns, Arizona Cardinals, New York Giants, Chicago Bears, Carolina Panthers among others. However, they made the postseason and started with a 31-45 win over the Detroit Lions in the quarterfinals. However, they could not get past the Philadelphia Eagles in the semis as they ended up losing 55-23. Meanwhile, their preseason heading into this game one was not good enough, losing to the New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens. 

Washington Commanders Team News

Terry McLaurin will be a huge asset for the Washington Commanders in this fixture as he will help stretch defenses and also ease the workload on the team’s secondary receivers, particularly in the red zone. Also, the Commanders traded for All-Pro receiver Deebo Samuel and Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil, while settling with Josh Conerly Jr. to strengthen the offensive line. Meanwhile, wideout Michael Gallup is one of the new additions to the team. However, Dyami Brown and Jamison Crowder have also been released by the team. 

New York Giants: Form and Statistics

The New York Giants were one of the disappointing 2024 sides during the regular season and will hope they find a change in 2025. In 17 matches, the New York Giants lost 14 games, with their three wins coming against Seattle Seahawks, Cleveland Guardians, and Indianapolis Colts in their final game of the season. 

However, we have seen a different New York Giants side in preseason, winning three consecutive games. In those encounters, the New York Giants defeated the New York Jets, New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills. 

New York Giants Team News

The Giants will rely on Russell Wilson to lead this team in the center after signing a one-year deal, with his experience and creativity expected to be crucial. The New York Giants are one of the spenders during the off season as they continue their major rebuilding. New quarterbacks in Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston are ones to watch out for this season with the addition of Jevon Holland and Paulson Adebo as free agents in the secondary position. However, Adoree’ Jackson's contract was not extended with the cornerback joining the Philadelphia Eagles.

Washington Commanders vs New York Giants Match Prediction 07 September 2025

The Washington Commanders are just too and I am beginning to doubt if the New York Giants have any chances to pull off an upset at least. However, the New York Giants have shown they are not a pushover with their preseason performances especially with the offensive output they pulled. However, with the focus on making the postseason this season, I believe the Washington Commanders will show a different side compared to what we saw in the preseason , which they lost three times. Meanwhile, this fixture has been more offensive lately, and I think the New York Giants could cause some damage with the Washington Commanders defense being very shaky so far. Therefore, I will lean on the New York Giants getting within the point spread in this opener. 

Our match prediction is New York Giants over 18.5 total points with odds at 1.66 on 1Xbet bookmaker. 

Our betting tip is a +6.0 point spread with odds at 1.90 on Bet365 bookmaker.
