Lean – Over (37.5) – NEW YORK GIANTS (+3) vs Washington

Eli Manning could be in trouble playing in perhaps his last game wearing a Giants uniform, as his two top receivers Evan Engram and Sherling Shepard, are both listed as questionable. To make matters worse, tackle Bobby Hart, allowing a pressure on 10.3% of pass snaps (3rd-worst in the NFL), will likely serve as a turnstile for Ryan Kerrigan as he looks to add to his 16 sacks this season (2nd in the league). The Redskins have the worst rush defense in the league according to my metrics but I do not believe the Giants will be able to exploit the weakness with a rush offense ranked 30th. My ratings favor Washington by just 1 ½ points but I don’t like the match up here and the injury situation could be an issue for the Giants. I’ll pass on the side.

Interestingly, the total has dropped 6.5 points compared to the last matchup between these two teams on Thanksgiving. We leaned under in that game but our model projects 40 ½ points in this contest – although it would be lower if the Giants’ receivers don’t play. The model doesn’t quite see enough value in the over to make it a play but I’ll lean over (38 or less) this time around.
