Believe it or not, the Washington Football Team will enter a game as the prohibitive favorite.
Washington (6-10) enters Week 18 on a four-game losing streak but faces the New York Giants (4-12), losers of five in a row. And, per Tipico Sportsbook, Washington is a 6.5-point favorite over the Giants at the Meadowlands.
Washington has already clinched third place in the NFC East, while the Giants have clinched last place.
These teams met all the way back in Week 2 when Washington quarterback Taylor Heinicke led a drive that resulted in a game-winning field goal by then-Washington kicker Dustin Hopkins. Hopkins initially missed the kick, but the Giants were penalized for being offside, giving him one more shot. Hopkins drilled it, giving Washington its first win.
Hopkins was released four weeks later.
New York quarterback Daniel Jones is out, as is backup Mike Glennon, meaning Jake Fromm will start under center for the Giants.
#Giants QB Mike Glennon suffered a wrist injury on Sunday that will require surgery. His season is over and Jake Fromm is now is line to start Sunday vs. Washington.
