NY Giants vs Washington Commanders Prediction
I’m on the Commanders here. The Giants just can’t catch a break, and this is tough on a short week to try to slow down Washington here. The Commanders could have a letdown after such an emotional win over the Bears with the Hail Mary, but I just think the Commanders are easily the better team here, and I think they get the job done. Give me the Commanders.
