Redskins vs. Giants Betting Overview

In a battle of two NFC East teams, the Washington Redskins will host the New York Giants. The game is the first for both teams, in the opening weekend of the National Football League season. The Redskins and Giants both missed the postseason a year ago, as the Giants fell to Philadelphia late in the season to become eliminated. Both teams have a bunch of question marks coming into the game. Eli Manning spent the off-season trying to convince his critics he was one of the top quarterbacks in the game. Rex Grossman is the leader of the Redskins on the offensive side. Grossman has made a prediction that he will lead his team to the postseason. Lofty goal for a team that had so many holes last season for Washington.
