Washington hosts New York on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET. Kickoff at Northwest Stadium. Televised on FOX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current Odds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of October 8, 2026, the Washington Commanders are 3 to 3.5-point home favorites. This is the first game of the 2026 season in which the Commanders have been favored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The under\/over total sits near 41.5 to 42.5 points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commanders moneyline ranges from -170 to -185. Giants moneyline sits around +150 to +170. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lines can still move before Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Records Against the Spread and Straight Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Commanders stand at 1-3 this season, but are 2-2 against the spread.<br \/><br \/>The Giants sit at 3-1 both straight up and against the spread.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Last Week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commanders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Washington fell to a 1\u20133 record, after a <a href=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/2026\/10\/04\/commanders-vs-colts-2026-week-4-recap\/\"><strong>30\u201313 loss to the<\/strong> Indianapolis Colts<\/a> at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England. Already playing without rookie starter Jayden Daniels due to a dislocated left elbow, Washington&#8217;s bad luck at quarterback worsened when backup Marcus Mariota exited with an MCL injury just 12 plays into the game. Forced to turn to seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis for his NFL debut, the offense initially took a 6\u20130 lead but repeatedly stalled, failing to convert critical early turnovers into touchdowns and settling for short field goals instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second half proved disastrous as the Colts&#8217; defense adjusted, overwhelming the inexperienced Kaliakmanis. Meanwhile, Washington&#8217;s defense grew passive as the game slipped away, letting Indianapolis running back Jonathan Taylor rush for 95 yards and two touchdowns while quarterback Daniel Jones controlled the tempo on the ground. Compounded by 10 penalties that nullified crucial plays\u2014including a potential game-tying touchdown\u2014and a series of officiating controversies, Washington ultimately collapsed down the stretch, scoring no touchdowns in the red zone and ultimately allowing the Colts to score on nearly every late possession<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Giants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the Giants improved to 3-1 with another close win. They defeated the Arizona Cardinals 36-24, and took sole possession of first place in the NFC East. Making his second consecutive start for the injured Jaxson Dart, quarterback Jameis Winston threw for three touchdown passes\u2014connecting with Malachi Fields, Malik Nabers (who finished with 112 yards and a score), and Theo Johnson. He also threw a pair of interceptions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After falling into an early 14-point deficit as Arizona ran wild in the first quarter, defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson heavily increased the blitz rate, allowing rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter and rookie linebacker Arvell Reese to spark a massive defensive turnaround.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game was decided in dramatic fashion during the final moments. With Arizona threatening, Giants cornerback Deonte Banks intercepted Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett and returned it 98 yards for a touchdown as time expired. The chaotic finish capped off a gritty, resilient performance that gave New York its second straight ugly-yet-clutch victory, setting the stage for an upcoming divisional road matchup against the Washington Commanders<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both teams now turn their attention to this divisional clash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relevant Past Trends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Division games often stay tight and physical, but Washington have covered the last two match-ups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Over\/Under Analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three of the last five meetings between these two have gone over. The total currently sits on the lower side near 42 points.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fantasy Section<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Commanders projected values<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n  <thead>\n    <tr>\n      <th style=\"width: 30%;\">Player<\/th>\n      <th style=\"width: 10%;\">Pos<\/th>\n      <th style=\"width: 25%;\">Projected Points<\/th>\n      <th style=\"width: 35%;\">Notes<\/th>\n    <\/tr>\n  <\/thead>\n  <tbody>\n    <tr>\n      <td>Jayden Daniels<\/td>\n      <td>QB<\/td>\n      <td>17.5 \u2013 19.5<\/td>\n      <td>Full-go return with rushing upside<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td>Jacory Croskey-Merritt<\/td>\n      <td>RB<\/td>\n      <td>10.5 \u2013 13.5<\/td>\n      <td>Lead back with White limited<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td>Terry McLaurin<\/td>\n      <td>WR<\/td>\n      <td>10.0 \u2013 13.0 (PPR)<\/td>\n      <td>Game-time decision;
