New York Giants NFL Week 13 Betting Lines
The New York Giants may have run up against the wall. Brian Daboll has overachieved with this squad, but the Giants have now lost two straight games, and their playoff hopes are in serious jeopardy considering they have the toughest remaining schedule in the league by a wide margin. The only team with a losing record they play going forward is Indianapolis, and the G Men must take on Philadelphia (twice), Washington (twice), and Minnesota. They will face the Washington Commanders for the first of two meetings in the span of three weeks this weekend.
On Sunday, December 4, 2022, the New York Giants will face the Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on FOX, and the Giants will be looking for their first victory over a division opponent this season.

New York Giants Week 13 Matchup
Even though the New York Giants are playing at home this week, they are underdogs to the Washington Commanders by the NFL betting odds. The G Men are dealing with a ton of injuries on offense right now, and Sterling Shepard and Wan’Dale Robinson are both on injured reserve. That has led to Darius Slayton and Richie James being the top receivers, and neither player is a true No. 1 option at the position.
The bigger issues are on the offensive line though. The Giants were without three starters up front last week against Dallas, and Evan Neal, Jon Feliciano, and Joshua Ezeudu are all questionable this week. It’s been hard for Saquon Barkley to run well behind the more inexperienced offensive linemen, and that could be a real problem this week as Washington has one of the most talented defensive lines in the NFL.
The Commanders have a top ten defense, allowing 19.7 PPG and 310.0 YPG. Daron Payne, Jonathan Allen, and Montez Sweat are all recent first-round picks along the defensive line, and Chase Young might make his season debut on Sunday. That would make this pass rush and defensive line even more intimidating the rest of the way.
Since taking over for an underachieving Carson Wentz, we have seen Taylor Heinicke play well. Washington has won three straight games, and Heinicke is completing 60.8% of his passes for 1,169 yards (6.8 YPA) with seven touchdowns and five interceptions. He doesn’t take the drive killing sacks that Wentz did under center with Heinicke being brought down just nine times in his six games.
Terry McLaurin is the top receiver in this offense, while Curtis Samuel has found a niche for himself in a Deebo Samuel type role. Samuel has been used as a running back at times to give the ground game a boost since Antonio Gibson and Brian Robinson Jr. are each averaging just 3.7 YPC.
The New York Giants have not done a good job against the run. They are conceding 5.2 YPC and 138.9 YPG on the ground so far this season. There are serious concerns about the secondary going forward too with Aaron Robinson on injured reserve, Adoree’ Jackson and Xavier McKinney sidelined by injury, and Cor’Dale Flott and Fabian Moreau battling ailments that have them questionable to play.
New York Giants Week 12 Recap
For the first half of their game against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, it looked like the New York Giants might be able to escape the Metroplex with a victory. They took a six-point lead into halftime and flustered the Dallas passing game in the first half. However, things changed in the second half after the Cowboys doubled down with the ground game.
Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard teamed up to carry the ball 34 times for 152 yards and a touchdown. That opened things up for Dak Prescott after halftime, and he ended the game completing 21 of 30 passes for 261 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. CeeDee Lamb had six receptions for 106 yards, and Dalton Schultz caught four balls for 31 yards and two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Saquon Barkley didn’t have much success running the ball. Barkley carried the ball 11 times for 39 yards and a touchdown, and that forced Daniel Jones to try to make things happen through the air. That’s not what Jones is good at in this offense, but he wasn’t terrible, completing 21 of 35 passes for 228 yards and a touchdown.
New York Giants Schedule & Results
Because of their recent run of futility, the Giants are not a desirable product for national TV games. New York’s only scheduled prime time appearance is a week three Monday Night home game against the Dallas Cowboys. The Giants also have a week five morning game from Europe against the Green Bay Packers.

Founded in 1925, the New York Giants are a foundational legacy franchise. The Giants were one of five teams that joined the NFL in 1925. The Mara Family has been involved in the team's ownership since the late 1920s.
The late Wellington Mara was the best-known member of the family ownership. He served as general manager and later president of the team as an owner from 1937 to 2005.
From 1927 through 1963, the Giants were a consistent contender that won four NFL championships. The period of 1956 through 1963 was a Golden Era of Glory with six championship game appearances but only one title. The Giants lost three consecutive championship games from 1961 through 1963. Following that was a long period of darkness.
Head coach Bill Parcells was not well-known when he took over Big Blue in 1983. But by the time Parcells left in 1991, the Giants had won two Super Bowl championships and regained national respect as a power franchise. Parcells was later enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Two of the greatest wins in franchise history came under the leadership of head coach Tom Coughlin. In 2007 the Giants were a wild card playoff team but made the Super Bowl, where they ruined the New England Patriots’ bid for an undefeated season. In 2011 the Giants were again wild card Super Bowl champions over the Patriots. Coughlin had Eli Manning as his quarterback in those days. Manning is a future Hall of Famer that rewrote the Giants' passing record book.
There have been numerous marquee men that have played for Big Blue. Frank Gifford, Charlie Conerly, YA Tittle, Phil Simms, Lawrence Taylor, and Eli Manning are among the legends.
