Summary:
New York is (3-2) in their last five games while Washington is (2-3). The Redskins are (4-3) at home while the Giants are (3-4) on the road. The Giants have won five of the last seven head to head meetings, though the Redskins have won the last two. The Giants have struggled to score points all season but their strong defense has carried them. Turnovers have killed the Giants and quarterback Eli Manning alone has accounted for 20 of them. Only five points separate these teams in terms of point differential so they are very evenly matched. The Giants have already clinched a playoff spot so I’m sure Washington will come out hungry to at least have a chance to get in. I think turnovers will again hurt the Giants and Washington wins this one at home.
