Redskins at Giants: Odds, trends and more

The New York Giants are playing host to the Washington Redskins at MetLife Stadium on Thursday Night Football, and are the slim favorites. Hours before the game, BOVADA has the Giants listed as a four-point favorite, with the OVER/UNDER sitting at 45.

New York is pegged as the favorite despite being 0-2. The Giants should be undefeated, but can’t seem to figure out that whole clock management thing. Head coach Tom Coughlin and quarterback Eli Manning are taking an enourmous amount of heat, and deservedly so. New York is mostly favored because it is the home team, with Vegas always granting a customary three points to the hosts.

Washington was projected by many to be the worst team in the National Football League, but somehow it is 1-1. Kirk Cousins has been effective under center, the duo of Matt Jones and Alfred Morris is sublime to this point, and Pierre Garcon remains a deep threat. All told, the Redskins fell in their season opener to the Miami Dolphins but rebounded with a 24-10 win over the favored St. Louis Rams on Sunday at FedEx Field.

Over at OddsShark, the trends tell us that you should be all in on the Giants. Why? Because New York is 4-0 both straight up and against the spread over its last four meetings with the Redskins. Washington also struggles away from D.C., going 4-10 in its last 14 road games ATS. The only concern would be the Giants struggling to cover the line at home, running a 2-4 mark ATS at MetLife Stadium in their last six home contests.
