Tonight we see our Week 2 matchup on Thursday Night Football between the Washington Football Team as they host the New York Giants. Both teams are coming off of a disappointing Week 1 loss and hope to improve their records to 1-1. With Ryan Fitzpatrick out due to a hip injury he sustained during the second quarter of the Week 1 game versus the Los Angeles Chargers, backup Taylor Heinicke will be taking the snaps tonight.

Based off of the above information, the Giants have defeated the Washington Football Team in 7 of the last 10 outings. While the Washington Football Team is favored by 3.5, history tends to repeat itself. I expect the Giants to win this one with a game winning field goal at the end of the 4th quarter, winning by 3 points or less.
