Giants at Commanders — Sunday, October 11 at 1:00 PM ET on Fox, Northwest Stadium in Landover, MD. This one counts double — an NFC East division game, the kind that historically plays closer than the power ratings suggest. The Giants arrive 3-1 (0-1 on the road); the Commanders sit 1-3 (1-1 at home). FPI's season projection frames the stakes: the Commanders at 6.5 wins with 9% playoff odds, the Giants at 6.2 and 6%.
FPI makes the Commanders the better team by 4.3 points on a neutral field — -3.0 (No. 24) against -7.3 (No. 31) for the Giants. The unit matchups: when the Giants have it, their No. 32 EPA offense meets a Commanders defense ranked 27th; the Commanders No. 19 offense draws a Giants defense ranked 24th. Special teams lean the Giants (No. 1 vs No. 23) — hidden points in a close one.
