Why the Commanders can cover
With NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year favorite quarterback Jayden Daniels, the Commanders look like a team of destiny thus far in 2024. Washington has won six of seven games since a season-opening loss to Tampa Bay and Daniels has been sensational throughout. Though he’s battling a rib injury, Daniels managed to hit Noah Brown on a 52 yard Hail Mary on the game’s final play to get the victory. On the season, Daniels has thrown for 1,736 yards and seven touchdowns, while rushing for 424 yards and four scores.
Running back Brian Robinson Jr. (questionable, hamstring) has rushed for 461 yards and six touchdowns in seven games and has been the ideal complement to Daniels’ rushing skills. After a slow start to the season, wide receiver Terry McLaurin has topped 50 yards in each of his last six games, including three of them over 100 yards receiving. On the season, he has 40 catches for 579 yards and four touchdowns. Washington’s offense should be a difficult assignment for the undermanned Giants defense. See which team to pick here.
Why the Giants can cover
Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has struggled again in 2024, having only thrown for 1,706 yards and six touchdowns against five interceptions. Despite having a dynamic playmaker in first round rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, Jones continues to underperform and is at the risk of being benched in the coming weeks. While he played well in Week 2 against Washington (16/28, 178 yards, 2 touchdowns), the leash might be shorter for the former franchise QB in Week 9.
Nabers has been excellent when healthy for New York, with 46 catches for 498 yards and three scores in only six games. Unsurprisingly, efficiency has plagued Nabers like the entire offense, as he has 27 extra targets and has not caught a pass longer than 39 yards. Rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. rushed for 145 yards and a score on Monday night and looks like a keeper for New York. He was in concussion protocol this week, but was a full participant at Friday’s practice and does not carry an injury designation. See which team to pick here.
