Week 5: Giants Visit Commanders With Washington's Quarterback Situation Unresolved

Read the full recap →

The New York Giants visit the Washington Commanders on Sunday, October 11. New York is 3-1 after a 36-24 win over Arizona in which Jameis Winston threw three touchdown passes and Deonte Banks returned an interception 98 yards; J.J. McCarthy has been with the team for a week. Washington is 1-3 after a 30-13 loss to Indianapolis in London in which Marcus Mariota injured his knee and rookie Athan Kaliakmanis finished; Dan Quinn's hope is that Jayden Daniels returns from his elbow dislocation this week.

Daniels or Kaliakmanis

Quinn called a Daniels return "the hope for sure"; the rookie went 15 of 33.

Winston's week

Three touchdown passes, two interceptions, and a win.

New York's defense

Seventy-nine points allowed in four games, with two defensive touchdowns.

Pregame AI Prediction

Winner missed Confidence: Low

How the prediction did

Predicted 23-20 (Giants vs Commanders), final was 27-27. Miss, because ties count as misses. The pick assumed Jayden Daniels would be limited or absent; he started, ran for 103 yards and two touchdowns and threw for 199 without a turnover. Jameis Winston threw 54 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns, including a 17-yarder to Malik Nabers to tie it in the fourth quarter, and neither team scored in overtime. The 3-point margin projection was off by 3.

New York's defense against whichever Washington quarterback starts

The Giants have forced turnovers in every game.

Daniels changes the calculation

If he is confirmed to start, this moves toward even.

Washington's defense has allowed 122 points

The most in the league, which is why the Giants are favored even with Winston.

A Low-confidence road lean that assumes Washington's quarterback is Daniels at less than full strength or Kaliakmanis.
