The New York Giants (2-6) will host the Washington Commanders (6-2) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday afternoon.
Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 3.5-point home underdogs but that spread has slightly worsened with the Commanders now at -4 as of this writing.
Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 9 matchup:
| Expert | Pick | Score (if applicable) |
| Dan Graziano (ESPN) | Commanders | N/A |
| Matt Bowen (ESPN) | Commanders | N/A |
| Seth Wickersham (ESPN) | Commanders | N/A |

| Lorenzo Reyes (USA TODAY) | Commanders | 28-17 |
| Bill Bender (Sporting News) | Commanders | 24-20 |
| Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News) | Commanders | 23-16 |
For the third consecutive week, the above panel unanimously picks against the Giants. They’re 2-0 over that span but it gets a bit trickier within the division. Still, four of the 10 expect a complete blowout with Washington winning by 10-plus.
Other experts and analysts from around the league are equally bullish on the Commanders, with 91 percent of them picking them to win, according to NFL Pickwatch.
Fans are even less convinced the Giants stand a chance on Sunday with just three percent picking an update.
