Kickoff: Thursday, 8:25 p.m. ET
Line: Washington -3.5, Total: 45

Kirk Cousins and the Redskins host Eli Manning and the Giants in a big divisional showdown on Thursday night.

Here is the BetDSI Sportsbook betting preview for this matchup:

New York got its first win of the season on Sunday, as it picked off Ryan Fitzpatrick three times on the way to a 30-17 home victory. Washington, on the other hand, went to Philadelphia and lost in a 37-34 shootout. The Giants will need to run the ball well in order to defeat a Redskins team that just held LeSean McCoy to 22 yards on 19 carries. Cousins, however, will be the key to the game for Washington. He must limit his mistakes and avoid turning the ball over at all costs against an aggressive New York secondary. The Giants are 19-7 ATS (73%) in road games after gaining 400+ total yards in their previous game since 1992, and are also 58-37 ATS (61%) off a home win during that span. But the Redskins are 35-20 ATS (64%) versus excellent passing teams with a completion percentage of 64% or better since 1992. New York has dominated this series with nine SU wins in the past 12 meetings, and each of the past five matchups have gone Under the total. LBs Jon Beason (toe) and Devon Kennard (hamstring) are listed as questionable for the Giants, while a whole slew of Washington players like LB Akeem Jordan (knee), TE Jordan Reed (hamstring), CB Tracy Porter (hamstring), LB Brian Orakpo (finger) and DE Jason Hatcher (hamstring) are questionable for Thursday night. Redskins' top CB DeAngelo Hall tore his Achilles last week and is out for the remainder of the season.

Which NFC East team will get back to .500 on Thursday? For the answer, connect to NFL Best Bets for all the StatFox Experts picks throughout the 2014 regular season and playoffs. The experts were on fire in Week 3, combining for a 13-3 ATS mark (81%), while going 8-1 (89%) in NFL Totals. StatFox Dave was 5-0 ATS in Best Bets to improve to 60% ATS (9-6) on the season. StatFox Scott was 4-0 ATS in Best Bets and 3-0 in Totals in Week 3, while StatFox Brian had his third straight perfect week of Totals at 3-0, and is now 9-0 for the season.

The Giants finally put together a solid all-around performance last week, and that started with a mistake-free game from QB Eli Manning (674 yards, 5 TD, 4 INT), who was 21-of-28 for 234 yards and two touchdowns. This was Manning’s first game without an interception since Week 11 of last year. He will need to limit his turnovers again against the Redskins’ defense, as controlling the clock and winning the time of possession battle is crucial for New York. Part of the reason the Giants were able to control the pace in Week 3 was the running of RB Rashad Jennings (286 yards, 2 TD), who rushed 34 times for 176 yards and a touchdown against Houston. New York will feed him early and often against the Redskins despite Washington holding the Eagles to just 54 rushing yards on Sunday. WR Victor Cruz (12 rec., 191 yards, 1 TD) finally turned in a big performance for his team, catching five passes for 107 yards and a touchdown that snapped a touchdown drought that lasted nearly 365 days. If Thursday’s matchup turns into a shootout, Cruz will need to use his ability to get open very often. The Giants must be better defensively against Washington than they have been against the rest of their opponents this season. They are allowing 25.7 PPG to start the year and their passing defense has really hurt them, allowing 258.3 yards per game through the air (22nd in NFL).

The Redskins led the Eagles 17-7 early in the second quarter, but were trailing 21-20 at halftime and never regained the lead. QB Kirk Cousins (677 yards, 5 TD, 1 INT) was excellent under center, throwing for 427 yards with three touchdowns and just one pick. He was able to make big plays and find ways to get the football into the hands of his top playmakers, WRs Pierre Garcon (22 rec, 227 yards, 1 TD) and DeSean Jackson (14 rec, 198 yards, 1 TD) who combined for 16 receptions, 255 yards and 2 TD. Cousins will need to have a big game against New York, as the Giants’ defense has been solid against the run this season and disappointing against the pass. Alfred Morris (253 rush yards, 2 TD) carried the ball 23 times for 77 yards against the Eagles. The Redskins will need him to make more out of his touches against a Giants team that will certainly be playing to control the clock on Thursday. Washington’s defense has been surprisingly good to start the year, allowing only 64.7 yards per game on the ground (3rd in NFL) and 218.0 yards per game through the air (10th in NFL). This unit should have a lot more trouble going forward, as it will now face a much more difficult part of the schedule.
