The Washington Commanders [7-5-1] host the New York Giants [7-5-1] in a rematch made for Sunday Night Football. The two longtime NFC East rivals met just two weeks, and the game ended in a 20-20 tie.
Two weeks later, it feels like this game is a battle between teams going in opposite directions this season. While Washington began the season 1-4, the Giants started the season 6-1, and now the teams have identical records.
In the first meeting, both teams had opportunities to take control but couldn’t take advantage of opportunities. The Commanders had a prime opportunity late, getting into New York territory before going conservative and ending up punting the ball away.
What has changed ahead of Week 15? Washington was off last week while the Eagles blew the Giants out. The Commanders are 4.5-point favorites for the rematch.
The betting lines favor the Commanders, but what do the experts think? According to NFL Pick Watch, 83% of the expert pickers side with the Commanders for the rematch.
Washington was a prime-time disaster for years until head coach Ron Rivera began reversing that trend upon his arrival in 2020. Will Rivera lead the Commanders to their third prime-time win this season?
