Washington Commanders vs. NY Giants odds and prop bets for Week 9
By Dean Jones
There is no time for the Washington Commanders to start believing their hype. Last weekend's last-gasp triumph against the Chicago Bears was an emotional high not seen in decades where this organization is concerned. Coming back down to earth and making sure this team stays focused on the task at hand quickly became the objective for head coach Dan Quinn heading into Week 9 at the New York Giants.
This should be a relatively straightforward exercise. The Commanders have a good group of players. Their improved culture within the locker room should ensure that nothing is taken for granted. Momentum is building exponentially. This counts for nothing if Washington cannot make additional strides over the second half of the season.
The Giants won't be giving an inch despite their lowly 2-6 record. They have a good record over the Commanders in recent seasons at MetLife Stadium and won't want to get swept by their NFC East rivals. Nothing but full commitment and the same mindset will do in pursuit of a seventh success of the campaign.
If the Commanders reach 7-2, that makes things very interesting leading up to the trade deadline on November 5.

Jayden Daniels prop bets
After gritting it out last week with a rib issue, rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels is off the injury report and ready to make his presence felt at the Giants. The Commanders are getting more than they bargained for with the No. 2 pick, who's been nothing short of sensational over the first half of 2024 and looks like someone capable of spearheading an exciting new era for this once-proud franchise.
Daniels had some red-zone issues during Washington's first meeting with the Giants this season. He's come on significantly since then, but much will depend on whether the rib is still providing some discomfort after the Commanders took things easy with the signal-caller once again in practice this week.
The Heisman Trophy winner out of LSU's passing yards over/under mark in Week 9 stands at 228.5 according to FanDuel Sportsbook. This is available at -110 in both directions (bet $110 to win $100). Daniels is projected to accumulate 20.5 completions from 29.5 attempts. His over/under for passing touchdowns is 1.5.
- Over 1.5 touchdowns: +112 (bet $100 to win $112)
- Under 1.5 touchdowns: -146 (bet $146 to win $100)
