New York Giants @ Washington Redskins Free Football Pick

New York Giants @ Washington Redskins Free Football Pick: The New York Giants look destined for a losing season as the injuries just keep piling up – first it’s Osi Umenyiora, then 3/4s of the secondary goes down, then Justin Tuck starts channeling Peyton Manning’s neck injury concerns, and now he might not play. When you add that to losing Steve Smith, probably the team’s most reliable receiver, and Kevin Boss, a good dual receiving/blocking tight end, and an aging offensive line, and, well, Eli’s big brother is hurt, making him sad – this team looks in trouble.

But it’s early, and the Giants play well early, especially Eli, and the Redskins aren’t really the beacon of talent and health either. I still think Hakeem Nicks is one of the best receivers in football, and Mario Manningham is nice, too. Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs form a nice rushing duo, and I’m thinking that will be enough to oust the Redskins by a field goal or greater.

I’ll take the Giants early, and win some money on them struggling late.
