Shanahan: "If they don’t play hard down the stretch, they won’t be with you next year."
I believe that...and I'm not worried about it since the Skins even played hard to the end with Zorn. The Giants opened up as -7.5 favorites and the line moved to -7. That many people like the Redskins, eh?! The Giants are a top 3 offense and defense, so I'm really concerned how our lines can handle theirs. I said the same against the Titans and look how that worked out. Feel free to add any pro/cons in the comments and I'll add them in.
| Pros | Cons |
| Giants 26th in Turnover Ratio (-6) | Giants 3rd ranked defense |
| Giants tied for 1st with most offensive fumbles lost (14). | Giants 2nd ranked offense |
| Redskins have knocked out 3 Qbs | Giants have knocked out 5 Qbs |
| Giants rank 29th with 16 INTs | Giants have 3rd best ToP in NFL 33:08 |
| Redskins still top 10 in turnover ratio (+5) | Giants #1 in NFL with 16 rushes 20+ yards |
| Redskins have upped their 3rd down % to 28%. We're no longer in last place alone!! (AZ) | Giants tied for 1st with 23 passing TDs |
| Giants rushing D given up NFL 3rd worst three runs 40+yards | Redskins rushing D given up NFL 1st worst four runs 40+yards |
| All those losses were with Zorn on the helm | NY GIANTS are 4-0 against the spread versus WASHINGTON over the last 3 seasons (all wins of course) |
| Will Montgomery is starting at RG (sorry for all you Redskins fans with Artis Hicks jerseys) | Giants tied for 3rd with Philly with passing plays 20+ (43) |
| Giants rank 28th in PR (6.3 yards) and 32nd in KR (18.3 yards avg) | Redskins are 6th and 9th. Imagine our ranking if the Lil Assassin started the season with us. |
| Center Shaun O'Hara (foot), WR Hakeem Nicks (leg), LT Shawn Andrews (back) and CB/KR Will Blackmon (chest) are listed as out. | Laron Landry and Carlos Rogers are out. Toran made the trip to NYC but is likely not playing (he didn't practice all week) |
All things considered, I like the Giants and Bears today against the spread.
ENJOY WITH ABSOLUT RESPONSIBILITY®
