Based on what? just last week's game against GB? besides that game, what have NYG done lately to deserve being more than -3 on the road in a division game against RGIII? Nothing! wash wins su

-3 because they are probably going to lose SU.

Sure they struggled for a few games straight in a row prior to the GB blowout. But they have all the weapons including decent front line. Not to mention i would take coughlin over majority of coaches in the league. I think the biggest issue is Eli's confidence level. I feel like he forgets hes a 2 time super bowl champ. Anyways, im take -3 and ML. This is a gift

I think giants at -7 is much more reasonable. The skins are just RG3 right?

What ? They were -6.5 at home vs Was and did not cover and now on the road you want them to lay more than that. 

We love to have you as a line makers.

Damn there's a lot of dumb people on this forum that don't understand how the lines work. Home teams automatically gets +3 line and Vegas adjust the line accordingly so if giants was -6 at home last time it makes sense to be -3 away

Last year the Giants lost both games to the Skins. Eli has trouble with the Skins defense

Got His Number

Eli Manning struggled to stretch the field against the Redskins on Sunday, something that also plagued him against Washington earlier this season.

Manning's Passing 11-plus Yds Downfield
2011 Season

vs. Redskins* vs. Others
Comp. pct. 38.5 50.9
TD-INT 0-3 13-6
NFL passer rtg 36.4 105.8
* - 4-15 for 84 yds and 3 INTs on Sunday

Aw, you think people on the internet ar e dumb.

This is a forum. Where people exchange ideas and perspectives. Not to judge people.

I'm going with my gut feeling on this one and placing a wager on eli tonight. They are the superior team in all aspects in my opinion. Will buy .5 to -3.

Giants -3 1150/1000

GL all

Giants typically struggle against the Redskins in recent years.  The skins are at home with extra time off and it is a divisional game.  The Redskins need this game just as much or more than the Giants in my opinion.  This game is a coin flip that is why I believe it is a field goal type spread. The Giants almost lost the first time around.  I think this line is perfect. I see a lot of people on the G-Men.  It kind of scares me as a Giants fan because I know they are more than capable of losing tonight.  If I were to make any bet on this game it would be small and Redskins moneyline.

they dogged it last year beginning of the year, then they whipped everyone a new bung-hole for about 2 months on the way to the SB.  if they want to they can whip the skins, just don't know if they have turned it on yet or not

-3 on the road is -9 at home

Line is too high....

Good point. Looking back ATL -4 was a gift. Everyone really had hope that Brees could bring it all teh way back for a chance at the playoffs. Not to mention ATL was struggling. However, Matty Ice is no Eli. Great record does not equate to 2 super bowl rings. The game is on. Looks like a messy redskins offense on the first drive. Good luck all!
