Washington Commanders Form
Washington go into this short week on the back of yet another defeat, which has dropped them to 2-5-1.
The Commanders lost back-to-back road games against division rivals to start the season, falling 24-22 to Philadelphia and 37-20 to Dallas.
They finally got off the mark with a 33-31 upset of Seattle in their home opener, only to then lose 30-13 to Indianapolis before tying 27-27 with the New York Giants.
Washington’s winless run then reached three games as they were beaten 23-17 on the road by San Francisco.
The Commanders finally ended their slump with a 27-10 win over Philadelphia, only to immediately return to losing ways last Sunday as they lost 20-13 to the Los Angeles Rams.
New York Giants Form
New York come into this key division clash having won back-to-back games to improve their record to 5-2-1.
The Giants opened the season with a 28-20 upset of Dallas, and then rebounded from a 28-6 loss at the Los Angeles Rams with back-to-back wins, beating Tennessee 12-7 and Arizona 36-24.
They failed to make it three-in-a-row as they went to a 27-27 tie with Washington, and that was followed by a 34-27 defeat to New Orleans.
New York have not lost since though, claiming top spot in the NFC East with consecutive road wins.
The Giants downed the Texans in Houston, 27-21 in overtime, and backed that up in Philadelphia as they edged the Eagles, 19-11.
Verdict
New York have hardly set the world alight, but through the first nine weeks they have found ways to get the job done.
Washington, on the other hand, have found ways to throw away wins, leaving Dan Quinn on the hotseat, so we expect the Giants to deliver at home on Thursday night.
