Predicting the Commanders next three games after blistering 5-1 stretch
By Jerry Trotta
2. Week 13 at New York Giants (7-3)
A season sweep of the Giants would be amazing, and we’re not ruling it out, but New York experienced a much-needed (and long overdue) reality check in Week 11, when they were steamrolled at home by Dan Campbell’s Lions.
Simply put, this game wasn’t a reflection of who the Giants really are. While their overall record is a little misleading given their lack of talent, they’ll likely be coming off consecutive losses come Week 13 against the Commanders given they play in Dallas, who just thumped the Vikings on the road, on Thanksgiving.
Maybe the Giants’ implode and their season comes off the rails. Or maybe, Daboll rallies the troops and they hold serve at home against a rival. New York was 5-2 at home before the Lions debacle, including wins over the Bears, Packers, and Ravens.
The Giants are a team that plays down and up to their competition. With the Commanders coming to town in two weeks, look for Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley to lead the G-Men to a scrappy win over Washington at MetLife Stadium.
Giants 20, Commanders 17.
