Giants favoured but Redskins to surprise

Washington Redskins @ New York Giants

The New York Giants won their last four games against the Washington Redskins, who will travel to MeLife Stadium Thursday to take on Eli Manning and running backs Rashad Jennings and Andre Williams.
Manning is tipped to take the Giants to victory, a winning probability of 62 per cent.
New York lost their two opening matches this season and Washington running back Alfred Morris looks set to upset the odds and hand the Giants their third loss when they meet at East Rutherford at 7:00 pm.
The Redskins have the better defence, marshalled by safety Trenton Robinson, cornerback DeAngelo Hall, and linebacker Keenan Robinson.
Quarterback Kirk Cousins is steadily rising up the rankings and is hoping for a performance of last year September against Philadelphia Eagles when he had three touchdowns and threw for 427 yards.
The Redskins lost that match at the Lincoln Financial Field.
Cousins, however, has not performed well in two matches against the Giants, but he has thrown six interceptions.
Washington should have the edge in yards gained, yards allowed, time of possession and the red zone, while the Giants will be big in kicking and penalties.
