Oh WHAT a start the G-men were off to! They began the Brian Daboll era with a 7-2 record as they kept pace in the NFC East with the Eagles and Cowboys while the Commanders were still trying to find their way. Now, the Giants are looking to regain their early season success.
New York is 0-3-1 since their hot start and more than a calendar month removed from their last victory. A team never wants to blame injuries but a big reason the Giants have had their struggles is because of the injury bug. They have been without starting cornerback Adoree’ Jackson since Week 11 due to a knee injury. and now running back Saquon Barkley is on the mend with a neck injury. Barkley was listed as questionable headed into last week’s loss to Philly but did play. He finished with just 11 touches, matching a career low.
While the Giants are trying to keep their playoff hopes alive, the Commanders (7-5-1) have played themselves into the playoff picture. Washington started their season going 1-4 but has gone 6-1-1 since. Quarterback Taylor Heinicke has earned the starting reigns back even with Carson Wentz being activated off injured reserve this week. Wentz went down with a broken finger in Week 6.
Heinicke has done a fine job for Washington and the phrase “he just wins” certainty applies to him as he has started five of their seven wins. However the biggest reason for their success has been their defense. Going into this week 15 matchup with the Giants, the Commanders have not allowed more than 21 points in nine straight games. They even held the red-hot Eagles to just 21 points while handing Philly their only loss of the season. Overall, Washington’s defense allows the 10th fewest points in the league surrendering just 19.7ppg.
The Action Network has the Commanders as 3.5-point home favorites against the Giants.

The game starts at 8:20 p.m. ET / 5:20 p.m. PT tonight (Dec. 18).

The more comprehensive package comes from fuboTV, as it has all five of the main channels you'll want: CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC and the NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.
It's a case of "you get what you pay for" as Sling Orange & Blue (which you'd need to get ESPN, FOX, NBC and NFL Network) costs $50 per month, while the Fubo TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $70 per month.
Oh, and if you're OK with just watching the Giants vs Commanders live stream on mobile devices (phones and tablets), it's also available on the $4.99 per month NFL Plus.
