Washington Commanders odds and prop bets for Week 2 vs. NY Giants

The Washington Commanders are looking to get their home campaign off to a flyer with renewed optimism from an expectant fanbase at Northwest Stadium. Things didn't go according to plan in Week 1 at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but this looks like an ideal chance to steady the ship and get things trending in a positive direction against the New York Giants.

This game is an important opening divisional matchup for Dan Quinn. The Commanders have been the NFC East's whipping boys for too long. It's time to change that narrative, starting by beating a team that was pummeled at home by the Minnesota Vikings to pile more misery on head coach Brian Daboll and quarterback Daniel Jones.

This game could be won or lost in the trenches. Nothing but maximum effort and improved execution will do, especially on the defensive side of things after the same flaws that blighted Ron Rivera's final campaign at the helm came to fruition once again under the new regime.

There promises to be a joyous atmosphere following exciting changes across the franchise this offseason. However, it won't take long for that to change if the Commanders cannot be more competitive against potentially inferior opposition.

Jayden Daniels prop bets

The Commanders got a glimpse of what Jayden Daniels might be capable of in Week 1. It wasn't perfect - far from it. But the signal-caller protected the football and got out on the move when he felt plays weren't developing as expected.

Daniels needs to trust his ability to go through progressions effectively in a fast-paced competitive setting. This should come with more experience, but much will also depend on whether Washington's offensive line can cope with a stout Giants' defensive front seven.

FanDuel Sportsbook has set Daniels' over/under for passing yards at 195.5. This is available at -110 in both directions (bet $110 to win $100). His pass attempts are listed at 28.5, with the over/under for completions standing at 17.5.
