Redskins/Giants Over 41
We all have heard about the Giants problems on the D-Line. The problem with that is they now had to shuffle their linebackers which were not that good to begin with and the secondary is very capable of getting beat on any given play. This Giants defense really will struggle. Washington will go with more of a hurry up offense and will throw the ball a lot more, but tonight expect a high dosage of the running game. The Giants defense. should be on their toes all night. Eli Manning has been on a tear dating back to last seasons playoff run. The Giants offense is basically in tack minus Jeremy Shockey. Washington's defense gets a huge addition with Jason Taylor, but he might not play tonight and is a game time decision. The Giants have a ton of playmakers at the receiver position and have a huge height advantage. The Redskins also have some injuries in the secondary and linebacker position with guys recovering from season ending surgery last year. I do not expect either defenses to be ready for this opener. The Giants shouldn't miss a beat on offense and the Skins will be much improved. Take the Over.
