Giants vs. Commanders: NFL experts make Week 9 picks

The New York Giants (2-6) will host the Washington Commanders (6-2) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday afternoon.

Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 3.5-point home underdogs but that spread has slightly worsened with the Commanders now at -4 as of this writing.

Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 9 matchup:

Expert Pick Score (if applicable)
Dan Graziano (ESPN) Commanders N/A
Matt Bowen (ESPN) Commanders N/A
Seth Wickersham (ESPN) Commanders N/A
Pete Prisco (CBS) Commanders 30-17
John Breech (CBS) Commanders 31-16
Jordan Dajani (CBS) Commanders 23-17
Nate Davis (USA TODAY) Commanders 27-17
Lorenzo Reyes (USA TODAY) Commanders 28-17
Bill Bender (Sporting News) Commanders  24-20
Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News) Commanders  23-16

For the third consecutive week, the above panel unanimously picks against the Giants. They’re 2-0 over that span but it gets a bit trickier within the division. Still, four of the 10 expect a complete blowout with Washington winning by 10-plus.

Other experts and analysts from around the league are equally bullish on the Commanders, with 91 percent of them picking them to win, according to NFL Pickwatch.

Fans are even less convinced the Giants stand a chance on Sunday with just three percent picking an update.
