Our Golden Rule of handicapping totals in football and basketball is that it is much more about pace than offensive or defensive competence. Guess who leads the entire NFL in offensive snaps? It is the Washington Redskins at 73.3. The Giants are higher than many may think at 65.3.

Washington is better with Kirk Cousins has completed 64.2 percent of his passes, thrown five touchdowns to one interception, been sacked only twice in 81 attempts and has posted a 105.8 passer rating. The Giants are allowing 8.1 yards per pass versus teams normally getting 7.4

Has the Giants offense come to life? Well they exploded against a good defense and they have been claiming that it would take a little time to learn the new offense. A short week is good for them to stay in rhythm.

Really this total is not high at all. Remember in the two games in which Cousins played all or most of, the Skins games had 51 and 71 points. We look for both offenses to be extremely aggressive.
