NFL Wagering Online – Giants Favored at Home vs. Redskins. The New York Giants are favored by a touchdown in NFL wagering online as they host the Washington Redskins on Sunday. It is a must-win game for Washington if they want to have any hopes of making the playoffs. Making an NFL bet on the Redskins is risky though as they have been up and down this season.
Giants -7, total 44 at SBG
The Redskins are two games out of the division lead and if they are to have any chance of making the playoffs they have to win this game on Sunday. Washington is 5-6 while the Giants are 7-4. A loss by Washington would put them three games behind New York and the season would basically be over. Washington faces the Giants twice in the last five games of the season. The Redskins know that to make the playoffs they probably have to win all five of their remaining games to get to 10-6. With the way the team has played this season that seems unlikely. Washington has lost three of their last four games including last week at home to Minnesota. The offense had just 216 total yards. Washington has no running game at all. Keiland Williams and James Davis combined for 16 yards on nine attempts last week. Quarterback Donovan McNabb was 21-of-35 for 211 yards and a touchdown but the Redskins are not going to win with McNabb throwing the ball nearly 40 times.
New York is No Lock
The Giants are not a team that can be trusted either. They nearly lost last week to Jacksonville. They came from behind to win 24-20 in a game that may have saved their season. The New York defense was excellent in the second half and shut down the Jaguars. The win by the Giants got them into a first place tie with Philadelphia at the top of the NFC East. The question now is whether the Giants can put together two wins in a row late in the season.
