Editor’s note: NESN.com’s Mike Cole, Ricky Doyle and Andre Khatchaturian deliver their NFL picks every Thursday of the season, and here’s who they like in the Washington Redskins-New York Giants Week 3 game, with the line from OddsShark.
Washington Redskins (0-2) at (-4.5) New York Giants (2-0), 1 p.m.
Mike: Giants. Washington has allowed the fifth-most first downs, despite being in the lower half of opposing third downs (with the worst defensive third-down rate, too). That tells me they can’t get a stop on first, second or third down. Not ideal.
Ricky: Giants. Some Redskins players reportedly are turning on quarterback Kirk Cousins, which shows where Washington is at through just two weeks. New York’s defense should tee off at home.
Andre: Giants. Holding Drew Brees and the Saints to 13 points is not a joke. The Giants have allowed just 5.3 yards per pass attempt this season ? the best mark in the NFC.
