Early Week 1 selection

NY Giants +7 Washington 

Congratulations to a fantastic Commanders season LY, but this team still has some glaring weaknesses.  

Not too often can you get a full TD and likely have the stronger team in the trenches. Wash. LT Tunsil will be a huge upgrade, but they are still expected to start a rookie RT. That is trouble vs. a bevy of Giant pass rushers.

The NY OL actually played pretty well early last year until solid LT Thomas and others were injured.  

QB Wilson past his prime, but should find open receivers and deep ball success against a Washington Secondary that badly needs CB Lattimore to play well. 

Believe Giant D will make just enough stops vs. excellent QB Daniels to shock the Commanders.  I'll call it 27-23.

Happy Independence Day to all Americans on Covers! Crazy stat: 8% of all the beer drank in the US in a year is done on 7/4!  

I like this Giants +7 play, good luck!

TY, SAM1!

This NYG might be better than many believe.  BOL this year!  

Wilson isn't the answer.

Wash. -6.5 and in teaser.

TJ2-In general,  I agree. Consider pundits think the Steelers have upgraded with AR at QB!

I still feel this is as good as spot as it will get for Wilson. He should have time to throw and open receivers to throw to.

Good luck to you this upcoming season. 

it was mentioned briefly. but if lattimore decides to play well and lock up nabers then the giants will have a hard time scoring. maybe just a few field goals. 

Max-no doubt Lattimore vs. Nabors will be key. Lattimore has battled injuries and has likely lost a step.

WR's Robinson and Hyatt may also thrive with Wilson. Obviously,  no guarantee. However,  Wilson will take risks QB Jones didn't and will spread the ball around better. 

BOL to you this upcoming season! 

Giants ain't shocking the Redskins week one 

@cocky24

 You don't need the Giants to shock the "Redskins"... 

You just need the NYG to "compete" better than they did last year.  Russell is on the downslope of his career, but he is likely an upgrade to Daniel Jones , and that potential upgrade speaks a lot to how well a team can compete on the field.  

Also, I get the sense the Redskins "overachieved" last year, and a sophomore slump is a real thing w/ QBs.  Just go ask CJ Stroud.  

I won't be playing this one, but if I were, I'd be taking NYG+7. 

@Rush51

 Your post has me thinking more about Wilson vs. Jones. 

Is it difficult to play for Jones when you knew a 2nd and 15 was going to mean a punt two plays later? 

I feel like even a past his prime Wilson can rally the Giants players more than Jones ever could. 

A sophomore slump from Daniels is possible,  but I think he is an amazing talent.  I would expect a solid game and a few great plays from him vs. NY.      

I agree.

@DogbiteWilliams

 DBW- TY for stopping by! BOL this upcoming season. 

The Giants after 9 games probably will be 1-8, lone win coming against the saints. Brutal schedule 

@cocky24

The NYG being woeful is a popular position.  You may very well be correct, certainly their divisional games will be challenging.  I still feel like this team has talent in key areas. 

If Wilson can play reasonably well and this OL stays healthy,  they can surprise. 

WILSON!!!!

Liking it a lot

I think Daboll will use Wilson better than Sean Payton in Denver did. Daboll chose to go with Wilson, whereas Payton inherited him

@Sidehatch

 True!

In addition,  Wilson wanted to come to the NYG because of WR Nabors. Admittedly,  the situation has to be better than Denver. 

BOL this season!
