Washington (+3) for 1.5 Units
At a trends standpoint the Giants control the edge in this series and in this spot however, the Giants defensive injuries and/or new leadership (DC) have taken its toll on performance. They're not producing sacks at the rate they did the prior two seasons, they're 28th in points allowed and getting burned repeatedly in the secondary. And without Antonio Pierce, the lifeblood of their defense, they're just 1-3 ATS. Offensively, the Giants are managing to put points on the board, but could struggle tonight without RT Kareem Mckenzie (MCL). In the meantime, the Redskins have gained confidence down the stretch on a 5-0 ATS run; moreover, 4 of those 5 opponents are teams above .600. Furthermore, QB Jason Campbell has found his rhythm and a comfort level with Sherm Lewis and company. And with Haynesworth back in the fray for Washington, the 'Skins' defense can be more versatile with their packages. Throw in revenge and we'll look for the Redskins to have a legitimate chance as a spoiler tonight.
