Week 13 Game Preview: New York Giants (7-4) at Washington Redskins (5-6)

All the info needed for this week's matchup including TV and radio info, betting trends, and stats.

Elsa

To me, there are two key stats to this Monday Night Football game:

  1. The turnover ratio. The Redskins are +12 and Giants +13. In the week 7 loss to the Giants (near win), the Redskins had FOUR turnovers. If the Redskins protect the ball, they should be in a good spot to win.
  2. Penalties - The Redskins have 93 of them and the Giants only 48. If the Redskins defense gives the Giants short fields and the Redskins offense is giving itself 3rd and longs...Redskins fans will be getting an early jump home for Tuesday work. STAY DISCIPLINED.
  • RGIII can break Cam Newton's rookie rushing record with 65 yards.
  • Alfred Morris needs 18 yards to 1000. 82 rushing yards to break Reggie Brooks' franchise rookie record of 1,063 yards.
