The Professor: New York Over Washington

This week let's use Co-Pilot and head to head to analyze the New York Giants-Washington Commanders football game.

As Head Coaches, Dan Quinn and Kliff Kingsbury are undefeated against the New York Football Giants with a 5-0 record. Dan Quinn also had success against the Giants as Defensive Coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys, including two routs last year. 

The Commanders are at this point 1.5 point favorites. 

The Sharp Money is on the New York Giants with the moneyline as high as +120 for New York.

New York's sound defeat last week has many Commander fans thinking win this week. But as Rick Snider has pointed out, Washington hadn't played together before the first ball game this year. A rather partitioned preseason had many regulars sitting in preseason games. For many, the Tampa Bay game was their first time on field together.

As Snider intimated, playing time issues impacts coaching as well as Coaches during preseason mostly called plays for people no longer on the roster.

I expect this lack of experience together to continue to be a negative for Washington for at least four to five games. 

Interesting to me was Dyami Brown's lack of involvement in the offense though he was listed as having played 33 snaps. There was only 50 yards rushing from the running backs. The Defensive Backs as it stands now are a tad confused.

Another erratic place kicker has been signed which doesn't bode well in a 1.5 point game.

Public money according to Co-Pilot is on the Commanders. Some people are buying the negative self-talk coming out of the Big Apple.

New York is 108-71-5 versus the Washington NFL Franchise. 

New York wins 21.5 to 20, with the Commanders missing a potential game winning field goal with one second left on the clock.

This is a money losing game with both teams in negative trends.
