Randy’s Pick
The Commanders have seen two of their three wins this season come on the road, and their 19 sacks are tied for sixth best in the league. The Giants have a banged up Daniel Jones and the worst offensive line in the league that’s allowed their quarterbacks to be sacked 33 times in 6 games. The Giants are a complete mess on the offensive side of the ball due to bad offensive line play. It’s led to the Giants being 31st in total offense and 32nd in scoring offense. The Commander’s defensive front should have a field day. I’ll lay the two points with Washington on the road.
