NFC East Matchup: Washington Redskins vs New York Giants ![]()
The Washington Redskins are 2-0 after a Monday night win at Philly, while the New York Giants at 0-2 appear to be in giant trouble. But New York has won seven of 10 meetings with Washington and covered the spread in six of nine.The Giants are attempting to avoid going 0-3 to start the 2007 NFL season as they head to FedEx Field on Sunday to meet a Washington team that is determined to avoid another finish in the NFC East basement.
The Giants lost to Green Bay 35-15 as a 2.5-point favorite in Week 2. The combined score went OVER the posted over/under total (39.5). The young quarterback
Eli Manning completed 16-of-29 passes for 211 yards with a touchdown and an interception for New York and Plaxico Burress had two receptions for 32 yards and a touchdown. The Giants held the ball for just 25 minutes, which left their defense on the field against a rejuvenated Brett Favre. However, Derrick Ward was a bright spot after stepping in for the injured Brandon Jacobs at running back, going for 90 yards on 15 carries for the Giants on the day.
The Washington Redskins pulled off a 20-12 win over the Eagles in Week 2, as 7-point underdogs. The 32 points were UNDER the posted total of 39. Clinton Portis scored the winning touchdown, and
Jason Campbell completed 16-of-29 pass attempts for 209 yards and one touchdown. Santana Moss had a good game as well with six receptions for 89 yards for the Redskins, who used offensive balance to get the better of Philadelphia in front of one of the most hostile crowds in the league.
The 'Skins come in as a 3.5-point favorite at home, and this would have to be considered a make-or-break game for the Giants - to fall to 0-3 on the season is a large hole to climb out of, and this will be a real test of their mettle. The 'Skins can make a big statement of their own with an emphatic win over their division rivals this week, and the team seems to be gaining more confidence in Campbell under center with each passing game. Look for the 'Skins to cover the spread against a struggling and injured Giants team.
Oddsmakers currently have the Redskins listed as 4-point favorites versus the Giants, while the game's total is sitting at 42.
