Giants −1.5
J.J. McCarthyMcCarthy keeps winning on the road
The Giants are 5-2-1, and J.J. McCarthy started the last two: a 27-21 win in Houston and a 19-11 win in Philadelphia. He hurt his hip against the Eagles and came right back into that game. Our season numbers were built mostly on Jameis Winston’s starts, so I’m riding the board side here, and the board has the Giants too.
Here’s the gap that matters. New York converts 40% of its third downs. Washington converts 31%. One of these offenses stays on the field, and the other one punts in the rain.
Malik NabersNabers already cooked them once
When these two tied 27-27 in Washington back in October, Malik Nabers caught 11 balls for 121 yards on 20 targets. He leads the Giants with 53 catches for 648 yards, and he went over 100 in four of his last six games.
The Giants also finish drives. They score on 91% of their red-zone trips. Get Nabers loose between the 20s and New York cashes it in.
You're paying −134 or more to skip a point and a half. Lay the short number instead.
Daniels takes off. The last time these two met he ran for 103 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-27 tie. If he decides to run again Thursday, the Giants and the under both get wet in the wrong way.
Take the one and a half. At two and a half you're paying for a point that could matter in a low-scoring game.
Parlays
The book sets the final price. Same-game legs are linked, so it is usually lower than these estimates.
Under 41.5 total points
The National Weather Service has light rain in East Rutherford Thursday night, a 96% chance, plus a north wind around 12 mph. That’s a wet ball for two offenses that already sputter.
Washington’s last game finished 20-13 against the Rams. Add a soaked field and this one lives in the 30s. Take 41.5 if you can find it; at 41 you’re giving away a push.
Daniels under 34.5 rushing yards
Jayden DanielsWSH · QBFour carries or fewer in each of his last three gamesDaniels hasn’t topped 25 rushing yards in any of his last three games, and he hasn’t carried it more than four times in any of them. Washington has him throwing now, 35 attempts last week against the Rams. On a slick track, scrambling gets riskier, not easier.

Is McCarthy the real deal in New York, or does Daniels steal one in the rain?
