Washington Football Team v New York Giants
Washington Football Team v New York Giants

The NFL starts the second week of the 2021 regular season with an NFC East showdown between the Washington Football Team and the New York Giants.

The two teams are very similar on paper. They have a strong defense who should dominate when they are on the field, even though they were built in different manners. Washington has spent a lot of first-round picks on the defensive front in recent years, while the Giants spent a lot of money through free agency to build its unit.

Both teams are having problems with the quarterback position as of now. Washington, the home team, lost Ryan Fitzpatrick to injured reserve following a hip injury and he should be out for six to eight weeks, with Taylor Heinicke slated to start during this period. For the Giants, Daniel Jones continues to struggle with poor decision-making and his tendency to fumble.

This should be an interesting matchup between two teams trying to avoid a dreadful 0-2 start to the 2021 NFL season.

Look for Washington to win this game even though they will be without Fitzpatrick to lead the team.

Heinicke has shown himself to be a smart quarterback and he's not prone to turn the ball over like Jones. With the defense that Washington has, there will never be a need to score more than 30 points per game. And against Daniel Jones, the situation gets even less difficult for any NFL defense.

This should be a low-scoring game, but the home team will prevail on this one.
