I know I should keep my hand away from the the stove buttttt
We kinda own them in recent years.
They may suck more than we do....
Thoughts?
If you can't find any better investments on the slate...

Well, #8 cost me a nickel last Sunday...

because I convinced myself there was NFW that Sam Darnold was winning a road game with his new team, especially back at GhostLife.

I should have known better.

Yet, he owns Washington; so, I'm leaning towards doubling down to get back to even.

The chase is on... ;)

Good point. When has doubling down on Daniel Jones ever come back to bite anyone?

at least take the ML. +2 does almost nothing for you besides cost you the vig.

The vig is kinda built into the ML as I understand it

I wouldn't bet a medium Pepsi on this Giants team.
This feels like a 16-10 kind of game . . .  
3000_MilesToMeadowlands : 9/12/2024 6:50 pm : link
and the over/under is 44 . . .
I'm happily not touching  
Mike from SI : 9/12/2024 7:30 pm : link
the actual game. I could see anything from a Commanders blowout to a Giants blowout. Gun to my head I'd think the Giants win because our roster is overall more talented, but DJ could easily negate that.
Edge to Giants

Wash is a not a good team either.
Never bet on your

They certainly weren't in Tampa.

Against the Washington offense, Bowles fooled the rookie QB with coverage on their WRs and forced him to use the short passing game.

And against their defense, Mayfield obliterated the secondary and owned third down with a 9 for 13 conversion rate.

On paper, Jones should have opportunities to make plays downfield. So, he's going to need to pull the trigger. And if Bowen can borrow a page or two from the Bowles approach, there is a really good chance to limit the Washington offense with a rookie QB in his second career game.

Imagine losing back-to-back weeks to Sam Darnold and a rookie QB...JFC...

I'm going to start a predictions thread tomorrow, but spoiler alert: I think we lose Sunday.

Expecting a slop fest. I have a bad feeling we win this though..
If Jones is as bad as last week....  
BillKo : 9/12/2024 9:03 pm : link
....the only way we win if the defense keeps it close for us - which is a possibility.

I think the D will come around and be a good unit.

I'm waiting for the change of QB to take place - there's no way it doesn't happen - I just want to see when this coach is willing to do it.


I know a big change at QB is coming - but is a big change coming at HC?

If we lose to Darnold and a rookie QB on back-to-back Sundays, we really have hit the abyss.

Is it safe to say this weekend at Northwest Stadium is Jones's Alamo?

Remember the Alamo!
You should bet it

Washington is horrible and it's not like the Giants are going winless. I took an alt line of Giants -3.5 to juice the odds. That was before I heard Nabers was injured though.

Regardless, we should win this game. The D is going to look a lot better and even Daniel will be able to expose the DC back 7.
I don't think

there's automatic cause for shame when losing to a rookie QB when that particular rookie is uber talented and was the 2nd overall pick.

The Giants may lose because they suck, but if/when they do, it's not like they're losing to a team whose QB is Daniel Jones or something.

On Offense the Giants have to force the ball to Nabors.
