T.M. Selection: New York Giants.

I like the New York Giants to cover the spread here against the Washington Football Team on Thursday night football. The Giants lost their first game of the season to the Broncos 27-13 at home and they did not establish much of a run game in that one. They have a very good running back on their team in Saquon Barkley and I expect him to have a much better game here. Daniel Jones also played alright throwing for 267 passing yards and 1 touchdown. He also has 3 solid receivers to throw to in Shepard, Slayton, and Golladay. Washington lost their first game of the season to the Chargers 20-16 and they lost their starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in that game. Taylor Heinicke will be the starter and he played most of the game last week in that loss. He does have some NFL experience but he has been sort of a journeyman throughout his career, never really finding a home for himself. The receiving corps on this team are not the strongest either so he will not have a lot of big playmakers helping him out here putting more pressure on him to make the plays. This game is on Thursday so neither team get a lot of time to prepare and this is a divisional matchup too. This game is very important as the NFC East is wide open and has been for years for anyone to take and just dominate it so I expect this to be a very close game instead of a blowout for one side. I like the Giants to cover here.

T.M. Prediction: 23-20 Giants.
