R.J. White, the dude who practically lives at the betting window and consistently crushes the NFL, just dropped his prediction for the Commanders vs. Giants ‘Thursday Night Football’ showdown. This isn’t just any game, remember last month’s insane 27-27 tie? Yeah, that one. Washington squandered their chance in overtime by letting the clock expire, and you know they’re itching for a do-over this time around.
The NFC East Grudge Match We Can’t Look Away From
So, this rematch isn’t just about pride, it’s about the NFC East standings. The Giants are currently leading the division with a solid 5-2-1 mark. Washington, meanwhile, is sitting in third at 2-5-1. When it comes to division play, New York has been looking pretty good, going 2-0-1 within the NFC East. The Commanders, on the other hand, are 1-2-1. Now, get this, the Giants might lead the all-time series 108-75-6, but Washington has actually won four of the last five meetings between these two squads, including that wild tie in October. Plus, the Commanders have covered the spread in four of those last five matchups. This game is always intense!
Good news for Giants fans: their running back Cam Skattebo (hamstring) and quarterback J.J. McCarthy (hip) were both full participants in practice on Tuesday, and they’re active for TNF. You gotta love that.
