New York Giants at Washington Commanders: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 2 game

One of the bright spots for Washington was the rushing ability of rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. Daniels was as good as advertised on the ground, forcing Tampa Bay defenders to constantly keep their eyes on him to prevent him from running amok. Daniels’ passing prowess, however, left a bit to be desired. Daniels completed only ten passes to receivers and tight ends. While he did complete 70.8% of his passes overall, he was mostly conservative with his attempts, leading to a rather underwhelming day under center. Washington’s defense wasn’t much help either, allowing Baker Mayfield to go bananas, en route to a 37-20 defeat.

The Giants were arguably the biggest losers of Week 1. Sure, the Carolina Panthers may have been down by 27 at half, but the Giants were facing Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings, yet still lost by three possessions. Rookie receiver Malik Nabers showed some promise in his debut, but it will be up to quarterback Daniel Jones to find his star receiver more often if the Giants want to sustain any offense moving forward.
