How Can Washington Win?
For each of these teams, the same game keys apply, only to different degrees. Washington has to find a running game. The Redskins rushed for only 29 yards in a 17-13 loss to Minnesota last weekend on home turf at FedEx Field. Washington’s offensive line has been horrible in 2010, but if Shanahan’s squad expects to go into the Meadowlands and knock off the Giants, a big day from the offensive front is simply a non-negotiable requirement. The Redskins’ defense is solid, and can definitely pluck a few interceptions from the right arm of Eli Manning.
However, if Washington’s offensive line doesn’t deliver the goods, the Redskins won’t claim a victory they absolutely have to get.
How Can New York Win?
It’s true that the Giants, like the Redskins, need to establish their own ground attack to a better extent. However, with New York, the focus is a little more specific than it is for the Redskins. The Giants must run the ball, but they must run the ball without fumbling. Ahmad Bradshaw has fumbled far too many times this season, squandering a number of promising possessions for coach Tom Coughlin’s team. Turnovers in untimely situations – in the red zone and in tight contests – have really hurt New York this season.
With better ball security, the Giants instantly become a much better team. New York is in good shape to make the playoffs, but the Giants want to get a first-round bye as well. That will only happen if they can win at least four of their last five games, if not all five. This team needs to start acting like a true Super Bowl contender.
Outlook
This has been a very rocky, bumpy season for an NFC East team. The high-profile, big-name quarterback has not made all the plays he should be making. The team’s rushing attack gets bottled up and can’t be relied upon. The defense, though generally solid, exhibits surprising bouts of weakness at times, especially against the run.
Points get left on the field and game days are much harder than they need to be.
No, we’re not talking primarily about the New York Giants. We’re talking about the Washington Redskins, even though the Giants share a lot of the same qualities, only to a lesser extent. Yes, it’s been a tough year for NFC East teams not named Philadelphia. The Eagles weren’t expected to be at the top of the division alongside the Giants; the Redskins were after Donovan McNabb shifted teams in the offseason.
However, the 2010 NFL campaign has been a disaster in D.C., as head coach Mike Shanahan has plainly failed to handle McNabb with a deft touch.
Washington looks just as mediocre as it did under former coach Jim Zorn and former quarterback Jason Campbell. The NFL’s most dysfunctional franchise sees no light at the end of the tunnel.
That’s no way to enter this divisional duel with the Giants, who – while extremely volatile and baffling in 2010 – have found a way to stay in the divisional race entering the month of December.
The Giants might not play their very best game, but the Redskins aren’t good enough to beat them. With that said, it’s a little surprising that in a backyard brawl between two familiar foes, the Giants are giving more than a touchdown. In what should be a rugged defensive battle, Washington is good enough to lose by only seven points. Take the Redskins relative to the spread.
Pick: Redskins +7

One reply on “Redskins vs. Giants: Week 13 NFL Lines & Spread Prediction”
Only the Eagles look really good out of the East. I agree with Bradshaw’s fumbling, Brandon Jacobs has disappeared and Eli Manning is either the worst great QB or the best average QB in the league. All this and the Giants are in better shape than Washington.
