Why the Giants can cover

Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers looks to be a future NFL star, having caught five passes for 66 yards in his NFL debut. With better quarterback play, he is likely to be a major problem for defenses going forward. The sixth overall pick in April’s NFL Draft may have the talent, but he wasn’t helped by his quarterback play in Week 1 vs. Minnesota.

Quarterback Daniel Jones struggled once again, completing 22 of 42 passes for 186 yards, with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Since the beginning of 2023, Jones has played in seven games, throwing for seven interceptions with only two touchdown passes. Against a Washington secondary that surrendered 289 yards passing and four touchdowns to Baker Mayfield last week, Jones might have an opportunity to turn around his fortunes, ideally involving Nabers early and often.ย See which team to pick here.

Why the Commanders can cover

The second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, quarterback Jayden Daniels already is showing why Washington was so high on him coming into this season. Against Tampa Bay, he completed 17 of 24 passes for 184 yards, while rushing 16 times for 88 yards and two touchdowns. He is a dynamic playmaker who poses problems for defenses with both his legs and arm.

Washington’s running back duo of Brian Robinson Jr. and Austin Ekeler combined to catch seven passes for 101 yards from Daniels in the team’s blowout loss. The two only combined for 50 yards rushing on 14 attempts, which will likely need to improve for Washington to succeed this week. Against the Vikings, New York surrendered 108 yards on 23 attempts to running backs, a number the Commanders will likely try to improve upon.ย See which team to pick here.
