New York Giants @ Washington Commanders, 1:00 PM ET
Did anyone really have the New York Giants sitting at 3-1 on their Bingo card this year?
They've also done this for much of the season without Jaxson Dart, who could return if the Giants make the playoffs, and getting to 3-1 is definitely putting them in a good spot to make the playoffs. The Giants are actually alone in first place in the NFC East after the first month of the season.
While Dart being out flat-out sucks, the Giants can still be a good team, as I am not sure Dart in his second year would be all that different from a veteran Jameis Winston, who has never been afraid to push the ball down the field.
The potential ceiling on offense with Winston is something worth keeping an eye on, and now that he should get a ton of starts the rest of the way, he could settle in a bit. As for the Washington Commanders, they had to dip into their QB reserves, as Marcus Mariota left Week 4 with an injury. Now 1-3 on the season, the Commanders could get Jayden Daniels back, which is great news.
Washington also beat Seattle at home a couple of weeks ago, which I found to be quite impressive. That tells me that they can be a good team and can hold the fort down from time to time. If Daniels does return, the Commanders should win this one. Even though it's only been four games, this feels like a major part in the season for Washington. Avoiding a potential 1-4 start would still give them a fighting chance to at least sneak into the playoffs if things come together later in the season.
Prediction: Commanders win 27-20
