10* VEGAS BOMB WINNER
Washington Redskins +3.5
The Giants are a mess. They could potentially be 2-0 going into this game but because of terrible play calling, they are 0-2 and are facing a Redskins team that is playing with a chip on their shoulder. I like what I've seen from the Redskins this season. To be able to win in the NFL, you have to be able to run the ball. The Redskins have Morris and Jones who have accounted for 331 rushing yards through the first two games. The Giants have not faced an offense yet that has a legit running game. The Cowboys running game was way down without Murray while the Falcons relied primarily on their passing game. Kirk Cousins is completing 75% of his passes this season. This is an efficient offense that has no problem taking what the defense gives them. The Redskins have outgained both of their opponents this season, along with all 4 of their opponents in the preseason. The Giants running game looks pitiful. If you take away a 27 yard run from Jennings and a 35 yard carry from Andre Williams, then the Giants are averaging only 2.8 yards a carry. Until Victor Cruz gets healthy, then the Giants really only have Odell Beckham to throw the ball too. Reuben Randle has been non-existent basically. The Giants lack a pass rush and in effect they are allowing opponents to convert on 61% of 3rd downs. The Redskins are holding their first two opponents to only a 29% conversion rate on 3rd down. The Giants will be without their top cornerback in Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The Redskins get their starting cornerback back, Chris Culliver, after serving a one game suspension. NFC East favorites this season are 0-4 ATS. NFC underdogs are 3-1 ATS.
