Game Information

From Lookahead NFL lines to NFL Week 15

Preseason lookahead markets projected this game with New York at – 3½. This favorable outlook maintained its course during the season, and last week’s sneak at the Giants vs Commanders Betting Odds revealed the visitors at -4 on the road. The official Week 15 line opened with the Giants at -4½.

New York Giants Slowing Down?

Brian Daboll and the G-men were the surprise package through the first half of the NFL season, but since Week 8, things have gone distinctly south. Some of it is down to injuries the football team hard, with key players featuring weekly on the NFL injuries report. But a lot of it is down to the heightened competition in the NFC East – and wider league – as the season winds down.

The Giants are merely 1-5 straight up (SU) in their last six games. They are 3-3-0 against the spread (ATS) during this stretch, but their last performance saw them fail to cover as the 7-point home underdogs in a 48-22 walloping by the Philadelphia Eagles

Washington Commanders On the Move

Ever since Tyler Heinicke took over as the offensive pivot, the Commanders have been on a roll. Washington has won six of their last eight games to improve to a 7-5-1 record and close the gap on the Giants in the NFC East standings. As things stand, with the 1-0 head-to-head advantage, the Commanders rank third in the division.

Heinicke is a bit of a wild card. He’s got that “go big or go home” mentality, which is risky but also exhilarating when it works. His ability to make deep throws or stunning last-gasp plays were often the deciding factor, turning losses into wins in the final minutes of games.

Of course, the defense has also played a big part in this turnaround. Over the last 8 games, the D-unit has allowed just 16 points per game! That’s San Francisco territory almost, as the Niners D-unit ranks No.1 with 15.7 ppg.

Giants vs Commanders NFL Betting Verdict:

With these two sides enjoying contrasting trajectories in recent weeks, it’s no surprise at all that the Giants vs Commanders Betting Odds are cornered with the hosts. Everything seems to be going their way, and that speaks to a confidence and momentum that will give them the tangible advantage above all else to grab the much-needed win.

Underscoring Washington’s favorable -220 odds (bet $220 to win $100) on the moneyline is home advantage, where they are a modest 3-3-0 SU and 3-2-1 ATS on the season. With Heinicke, they are 2-1 SU and ATS at FedEx Field – the only loss was a narrow 20-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

The fact that the last meeting between this pair resulted in a tie has many considering this is going to be another close game. But the opposite may well be true. Keep in mind that the Giants just had their butts whooped by the Eagles last Sunday. They’re banged up, hobbled and fast losing the plot. Don’t be surprised if this is a one-sided affair and the Commanders pull off the cover as the -4½ home chalk.

As far as the NFL over under week 15 prediction goes, there’s a case for it going either way. Consensus betting shows a lean towards the over 40½.
