Washington Commanders at New York Giants: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 9 game

The Washington Commanders took down the Chicago Bears in miraculous fashion a week ago. They are riding a high that cannot be matched in the NFL, which offers the perfect opportunity for the New York Giants to swoop in and steal a win in Week 9.

Of course, that’s easier said than done. The Commanders have been one of the most pleasant surprises of the NFL season. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels is a heavy frontrunner for Rookie of the Year, and the team’s offense as a whole has looked unstoppable at points. That said, the New York Giants have had some pretty strong offensive outbursts of their own. If they can get hot at the right time, they could walk away with a pivotal victory over their divisional foe.

Here are our experts’ predictions for this Week 9 showdown.

NFL Week 9 odds, predictions and picks

Lorenzo Reyes: Commanders 28, Giants 17

Although Washington’s offense did face a tough test in the Bears off a bye week, and although the Commanders were bailed out on their game-winning Hail Mary, the Giants’ passing offense is simply a liability. The Commanders are tied for the fewest giveaways in the NFL, and I think Jayden Daniels and co. roll up to an easy victory here.

Tyler Dragon: Commanders 30, Giants 20

The Commanders’ Hail Mary is the prohibitive favorite for play of the year. Jayden Daniels’ improbable game-winning touchdown pass will likely motivate the team going forward. The Giants are the worst team in the NFL East.

Richard Morin: Commanders 30, Giants 13

Washington is riding high after a massive win against the Bears. Its positive stretch continues against the lowly Giants.

Jordan Mendoza: Commanders 30, Giants 21

The last time these teams played, Washington won with just seven field goals. Expect Jayden Daniels to find the end zone this time in another win for the rookie.
