Since late in 2018, the New York Giants are 0-11 in prime time games: 0-5 on Monday Night Football, 0-4 on Thursday nights, and 0-2 on Sunday nights.<\/p>\n

“That’s a crazy stat. Dang,” said Saquon Barkley, who is well overdue for a massive rushing game and may need one tonight to save the Giants’ collective conscience. He has rushed for a total of just 152 yards in the past four games after rushing for 152 against the Houston Texans in Week 10, and the ground game should be key key tonight. That’s as two teams that played to a 20-20 tie two weeks ago renew their rivalry in Landover, Md.<\/p>\n

The Commanders had a 41:11-28:49 edge in time of possession in that game, as Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibsn helped the Commanders pile up 165 rushing yards, 106 after halftime. The game ended with Graham Gano coming up 5 yards short on a 58-yard field goal as time expired in overtime.<\/p>\n

New York is 0-3-1 over the past month, and what looked like a promising run that could get them deep into the playoffs has halted. They are coming off a demoralizing 48-22 loss to the league-leading Philadelphia Eagles, and are playing tonight (8:20 p.m. EST) for a solid hold on sixth place in the NFC, as both teams enter with 7-5-1 records.<\/p>\n

Washington is favored by 4 1\/2, and 76% of the handle is coming in on New York. Those are desperation bets by New Yorkers hoping Big Blue can reverse its fortunes at the same stadium where last season fell apart in Week 2. That was the night Dexter Lawrence jumped offsides on a field goal attempt that missed, giving Dustin Hopkins a second chance at a game-ending field goal that he nailed on the second attempt.<\/p>\n
