Giants vs Commanders Prediction
I’m on New York here. I just have zero faith in Washington at this point. Maybe now the Commanders will realize they’re better off mailing it in and resting up Jayden Daniels for next year and getting a high draft pick to get him some help. The Giants haven’t learned that, as they’re still trotting out Jaxson Dart, but if they’re going to, might as well take advantage of it considering they’ll have the better quarterback in this game. I think i can also trust the Giants’ defense more in this game, so give me the Giants at home in this one.
