A lot of things to look at in this game. First the predictable over reaction the public has. The Giants win one home game on prime time and the public jumps all over them as a road favorite in a Divisonal game, against a hot redskins team that must win to keep their playoffs hopes alive. And may I add that this Redskins team has covered the last 4 against the Giants, every time as an underdog, and winning 2 of those 4 SU. Mike Shannahan seems to have these Giants figured out, and he's proven that the last couple of years. And that's been with Qb like Rex grossman and John Beck. In the game earlier this year, the redskins out gained the Giants by about 100 yards and had 4 turnovers. They were leading until 70 yd pass play with minute or two left sealed their fate. Since then the Redskins only have 1 turnover in the last 4 games. They also have Pierre Garçon back, a popular target in the last couple of weeks for RG3. Washington has one of the best running games in the NFL as well behind rookie Alfred Morris, so look for him to have a big game tonight. Plus theres always the threat of RG3 running the ball. The Skins ran for around 250 yds against the Giants earlier in the year as well. This running game allows the use of play action, which the Redskins have been very effective at using this year. The Redskins are also #1 in the league in yards per offensive play, again also because of their balance on offense and stellar running game. Now the Giants have Eli Manning, a game changer, especially in the 4th qtr. Eli hasn't looked all that impressive tho this year, and last week didn't have to do much to win that game. The Skins are sure to get after him tonight. The Skins run defense is actually very good and this should make Eli have to convert some 3rd and longs. If the secondary for the Redskins can get off the field, they will win the game tonight. Lastly we all know what RG3 can do. This is MNF. It was made for guys like him. The Giants had a lot of trouble with him the last time they played. Hes been torching defenses the last couple of weeks, and I think the same happens tonight. Also don't forget the Redskins have had a couple extra days of rest and time to prepare, since their last game was on thanksgiving. The Giants are known as road warriors but they are usually underdogs in these games. The Giants are 1-1 ATS as road favs this year and 3-5 ATS as favorites. Redskins win 30-24 NBA PICK $500 LA Clippers -1.5 Clippers are playing well the last 2 games with Billups back in the lineup. Jazz don't play very good defense and have some injuries. Jazz are very good at home, but I'll take the better team tonight. Clippers win 102-95 |
