THE Washington Commanders (6-2) enter Sunday’s showdown against their NFC East rival, the New York Giants (2-6), as four-point favorites. When you first look at each team’s records, you might think the gap seems a little small.
However, this is a divisional matchup and the Giants have had the upper hand in recent years. The two longtime foes met in week two, with the Commanders barely beating the Giants, 21-18, thanks to seven field goals from Austin Seibert.
A lot has changed since Week 2. Washington is one of the hottest teams in the NFL, led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. Meanwhile, the Giants have had another rough start to the season.
So, does New York quarterback Daniel Jones continue his streak of good games against Washington? Or does Daniels start a new streak and go 2-0 against the Giants to start his career?
We’ve made our picks for Sunday’s NFC East battle and we think the Commanders will come out on top. But what do the experts think?
