Tonight's Thursday Night Football matchup features a juicy game between two injury ravished rosters suffering from a season of poor play, but coming off of decent performances. Last week, the Giants offense finally looked like an NFL-caliber offense for the first time this season. The Redskins rolled behind a solid performance by backup QB Kirk Cousins. Tonight, the division rivals meet in Washington.
I'm giving an edge to the Redskins in this game. Eli Manning hasn't had a rough couple of starts....he's had a rough couple of seasons. That's a problem. While the Giants do have a couple of offensive weapons in Victor Cruz and Rashad Jennings, the Redskins have more offensive firepower as a whole, especially since DeSean Jackson is expected to play. The Redskins offense will be able to pound away the game on the ground, throwing when necessary, controlling the clock, and winning this game. Eli Manning makes a few mistakes, and looks as confused and dejected as he did when drafted by the Chargers. Final score: Redskins 24, Giants 17. --Mike B
I agree with mike on his pick. But here is where we differ. I think the Giants found a lucky charm last week and that's all. I think the Skins let a win get away and they are better then they seem now that Kirk is at the Helm. The rest of the team seems to respect and trust his judgment compared to the way they act when RGIII is on the field. This team seems to just click when Kirk is on the field while the Giants offense minus one week including the preseason has looked lost and completely in disarray. I got the Skins killing the Giants at home and beginning the Tom Coughlin on the hot seat talks this week. Skins 35 Giants 17.
