NFL Week 14, 2018: 20 Bold predictions to consider

With three wins in four games, the New York Giants look to end their disappointing season on a positive note, as one can only imagine how different these final few weeks would be if it wasn’t for their horrendous start. After only winning three games all of last year, many expected the Giants to turn things around in 2018, which was far from the case after they lost seven of their first eight games.
But as mentioned before, New York seems to finally be clicking with their recent set of wins, and there’s a good chance three wins in four games could turn into four wins in five games if they manage to come out on top over the Washington Redskins. A few weeks ago, the Redskins were viewed as one of the top teams in the NFC before the offense suffered a crushing blow by losing both Alex Smith and Colt McCoy to season-ending injuries.
Not only should the Giants’ defense be able to take care of this, but the offense hopes to have their way against the Redskins as well after seeing what the Philadelphia Eagles were able to accomplish on Monday Night Football. If New York wants to see the best results, the best way seems to be making sure Saquon Barkley receives the football as much as possible, which shouldn’t be an issue.
