New York Giants QB Eli Manning has willed his team to a first-place tie in the NFC East division<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Washington will head out on the road after suffering consecutive home defeats against the New York Jets and New England Patriots, facing a revenge-minded New York Giants team inside MetLife Stadium.\u00a0 The Redskins have lost plenty of players this year, but they come in with confidence offensively, averaging 380.5 yards and 23.3 points over the past four games.\u00a0 Quarterback Rex Grossman should be able to put up solid numbers when finding out that three of his top six games in terms of passing yards have come against Sunday\u2019s opponent.\u00a0 Washington is 4-6 ATS as an underdog this yeare and the \u2018over\u2019 is 6-5 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Redskins dropped a 34-27 affair to the New England Patriots last week as 7.5-point home underdogs, while going \u2018over\u2019 the total for the fourth straight game.\u00a0 Grossman completed 19-of-32 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns.\u00a0 He had his best performance of the season in Week 1 in the team\u2019s 28-14 win over New York as three-point underdogs inside FedExField, finishing with 305 yards and a season-best 110.5 passer rating.<\/p>\n

New York snapped a four-game losing streak and walked out of Cowboys Stadium with a 37-34 win as 4.5-point road underdogs Sunday night, moving the team into a first-place tie atop the NFC East division.\u00a0 \u201cWe knew that we couldn\u2019t afford to fall further behind Dallas when we went into the game,\u201d commented Giants offensive linemen Kevin Boothe.\u00a0 \u201cWe are in a playoff-type atmosphere from here on out.\u201d\u00a0 The Giants are 8-6 all-time inside MetLife Stadium, including a 3-3 mark this season.\u00a0 New York is 3-0 ATS this season when revenging a loss against an opponent.<\/p>\n

The Giants are 91-62-4 all-time in their series against the Redskins, including a 11-4 mark under the direction of current head coach Tom Coughlin.\u00a0 Quarterback Eli Manning has entered the NFL MVP discussion over the past three games, throwing for 1,153 yards and seven touchdowns with three interceptions over that span.\u00a0 He has become the fifth signal-caller in league history to pass for at least 3,000 yards and 20 touchdowns in seven consecutive seasons.\u00a0 Wide receiver Victor Cruz has been his main target, leading the team with 68 receptions and 1,150 receiving yards.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Giants due to the favorite being 9-4-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings, while the Redskins are 1-5-1 ATS in New York.<\/p>\n
