Giants vs Commanders Prediction
The current betting odds have the Commanders listed as a 6 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Commanders had a great season last year, finishing 12-5 overall and made a deep run in the playoffs. They came up short in the end, but that was a great first season for their new head coach and rookie quarterback. Now the team will be looking to build off that great first year and they have added some talent to the offense to help Jayden Daniels grow in his 2nd NFL season. The defense wasn't great last season, but they should improve this year with Dan Quinn now in his 2nd season. Meanwhile, the Giants looked terrible last season as they finished 3-14 overall and were one of the worst teams in the NFL. They have picked up a lot of young talent from the draft the last 2 seasons and are well on their way to improving, but this is still a team that is going to have a lot of growing pains, especially with their head coach on the hot seat. They still have a lot of question marks at QB too with Russell Wilson getting the start in this one. Wilson hasn't shown that there is much left in the tank over the last few seasons so even if this Commanders defense isn't up to par, this Giants offense will still struggle to move the ball. The Commanders have the talent on offense to pull away throughout this game and will be looking to have a strong start to the season after the great year they had. The best way to place a bet here is on the Commanders to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
"I think just the effort of the guys is what we're really focused on, the discipline, their team-first attitude, their work ethic, big things, accountability to one another, to the coaches, to the players. It's a process of training camp to the preseason games, and being able to execute regardless of who is in there. There is a standard that I'm going to hold everybody to, and we got 17 days here before the first one, so we've got a lot of work to still get done." - Brian Daboll on his team coming into this new NFL season.
“I don't know if emerging, but we were pretty confident going into the camp what we'd see and how we'd go. And so, when the opportunity with [General Manager] Adam [Peters] and team to go that way, that seemed to make the most sense and from a fit and the whole thing forward, so it made sense.” - Dan Quinn on the team trading away Brian Robinson Jr.
