We saw the Washington Commanders keep things close against the San Francisco 49ers about a month ago. We’ll see them travel to New York to take on the Giants at the beginning of December. Both NFC East foes go head-to-head to kick things off in Week 10.

The Giants have a surprising lead in the NFC East. They’re 5-2-1, but have a point differential of only +10. J.J. McCarthy will be the quarterback leading the G-Men to the postseason if they can make it that far.

I’m not so sure the Giants will win tonight.

Thursday games can be wonky. Underdogs have been barking all year in this spot. It does not seem like a good spot for the Giants; they only outgained Joe Milton and the Eagles last week by 23 yards.

Their defense has performed well. The cornerbacks have been a pleasant surprise, and Arvell Reese is living up to his draft status as a rookie.

The Commanders kept things close a week ago against the Rams. The week prior, they beat the Eagles by 17. Washington has the significantly better quarterback here, and that might be enough to make a difference.
