Why Washington Redskins are a good bet at -1?

After the debacle in New Orleans, a 19-43 loss, Washington has picked itself up and won 2 games in a row. Both wins were impressive as the Redskins beat visiting Carolina 23-17 and took down the rival Dallas Cowboys 20-17.

Washington’s leaning on it’s 5th ranked defense. The Giants have problems putting points on the board, which means in this matchup Washington should be even more stingy than they normally are.

Why New York Giants are a good bet at +1?

Are the Giants a safe bet for NFL Week 8?

Washington has trouble with pass-catching running backs and the Giants like to throw to their backs. Before the Atlanta game in Week 7, Giants’ starting running back Saquon Barkley had caught 40 passes already this season.

Wayne Gallman, who almost never gets in the game, has 8 catches. If Manning goes to Barkley and Gallman, that should open the middle for passes to Evan Engram. Giants have a shot to beat Washington on Sunday.

Final NFL Betting Analysis for Redskins vs Giants

Washington has won their last couple of games, but both happened at home. Sunday is only Washington’s third road game this season. Week 1’s 24-6 victory doesn’t exactly count because the Cardinals are the worst team in the NFL.

While Redskins have played great at stopping opponents from scoring points, they’ve been awful at moving the football. Giants aren’t a great football team, but they have an advantage because the home team is 5-2 against the spread in the last 7. Not only that, but the Giants plays well against the pass while Washington has virtually no rushing attack.

Giants to win seems logical.
