If you've followed us for any length of time, you know that we're a situationally based handicapping service and while we don't prescribe to any one single handicapping methodology, for the most part the actual players have little to do with our process whatsoever. Unless it's a Top 3 player like a LeBron James or an Aaron Rodgers, it doesn't matter whatsoever to us who is on the playing field, we base our selections on situations, motivation, scheduling and lop-sided trends and numbers. So for us, this is a great spot bet as we're expecting each of these hungry teams to open up the playbook and to take some shots down field whenever possible. For the home side, another loss would essentially be the nail in the coffin for the remainder of the year, only a small percentage of teams that have opened 0-3 have ever made even made the playoffs, for all intents and purposes this is obviously a "do-or-die" game, especially with a tough road contest at Buffalo the following week. And for Washington, which opened with a 17-10 loss to the Fish and then won in Week 2 with a 24-10 effort over the Rams, it will clearly be looking to carry the momentum it created from that victory over into this contest. It's also the Redskins first road game, before then returning home for a battle vs. division rival Philadelphia. As mentioned off the top, these are two "hungry" teams, desperate in fact. We're expecting this determination to translate into production on the field. Note that Washington has seen the total go OVER the number in 13 of its last 23 when playing with six or less days rest, while New York has seen the total eclipse the posted number in eight of its last 13 vs. division opponents and both times that it's played on a "Thursday Night" over the last two seasons. The writing is on the wall and a shootout is in the cards, all signs do indeed point to the OVER as the savvy move in this contest.
