New York Giants - Washington Commanders: Form Analysis
The Giants are coming off a hard fought 28-20 loss against division rivals Dallas in their last game, making it two losses in a row for Big Blue and three losses from their last four. New York now has a huge three weeks coming up against division opponents which could very well determine their postseason fate. New York will have to improve on the defensive side of the ball as they have given up 31 points in the week 11 loss to the Lions followed by 28 points allowed to the Cowboys. They’ll have to deal with a Washington team coming off three straight victories and having ripped off an impressive six wins from their last seven. The Commanders seem to be getting better as the season wears on and will provide stiff competition for New York.

New York Giants & Washington Commanders Squad Analysis
The Giants have been decimated by injuries in recent weeks, a large contributor to their recent losing streak. However, they could be looking at as many as five starters returning for this all-important division clash against the Commanders. Among those is rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger is likely to come back into the action for the first time since week 7. They will also be thrilled to welcome back Azeez Ojulari who should provide New York with some much needed pass rushing as the Giants rank close to the bottom of the NFL in that regard. The Commanders will be sweating the status of influential defensive tackle Chase Young who could make a return in this game. It does look unlikely for Young though, who remained inactive for a number of the Commander’s practices this week.

Our New York Giants vs Washington Commanders Prediction
It’s a bit surprising seeing the Giants getting points at home here given the current records of both teams. The oddsmakers are likely reacting to the Giants injury problems as well as their current losing streak combined with the Commanders picking up steam and winning their last three on the bounce. However, the G-men look to be getting a number of crucial players back that could very well make the difference in this crucial clash. There’s definite value in backing the Giants catching points here as they should probably be a small 1 to 2 point favorite in this spot. For that reason, the New York Giants +2 point spread is our bet for this game.
