NEW YORK GIANTS +2.5 - This is a much more important game for the Giants than it is for Washington, as the New Yorkers want to avoid falling 2 games behind the division leader this early in the season. This is the first road game of the season for the Giants, but they have traveled very well, going 7-3, 70.0% ATS in their last 10 road contests. New York has also won 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings S/U, including a 27-21 triumph here in Washington last year. Also, the Giants defense is much better than it looked on Monday night?s debacle vs. Dallas, and I expect a much-improved performance from this unit this week. The Redskins could easily be 0-2, as they have won their first 2 games vs. the Jets and Atlanta by a TOTAL of 5 points. The Giants have better personnel than either of those clubs, so look for Washington to be exposed for the mediocre team that they are this week.
