The 2026 NFL season reaches Week 10 with an NFC East matchup on Thursday Night Football as the New York Giants host the Washington Commanders. DraftKings Sportsbook lists the Giants as 1.5-point favorites, with the Over/Under for total points set at 40.5.
Quarterback Situation and Team Standings
J.J. McCarthy makes his third start for the Giants since being acquired via trade from the Minnesota Vikings. New York won both of his previous starts despite mixed performances from the quarterback, who flashed franchise potential against the Texans before struggling against the Eagles.
Jayden Daniels anchors the Commanders as their franchise quarterback, though Washington enters the contest at 2-5-1 and facing a critical point in their season. The two division rivals previously played to an ugly tie in a game Washington nearly won in overtime.
Best Bets and Point Spreads
The recommended best bet for the matchup is backing the Commanders at +2.5 points. While the Giants hold a top spot in the division under a well-coached system, backing McCarthy as a prime-time favorite presents risks. Washington has faced a difficult schedule and remains relatively healthy, allowing head coach Dan Quinn to design defensive schemes against McCarthy while Daniels leads the offense.
Player Prop Bets
For receiving props, Malik Nabers is projected to go Over 67.5 receiving yards at -112 odds. Despite catching passes from McCarthy, Nabers has drawn 17 targets over the last two games and maintains strong target volume.
Jayden Daniels is projected to clear Over 37.5 rushing yards at -113 odds. Daniels is fully healthy following previous injuries and previously rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns against the Giants.
Anytime Touchdown Scorer Predictions
Isaiah Likely enters at +190 odds to score a touchdown. Washington has surrendered eight touchdowns to tight ends this season, and Likely has recorded five scores on eight catches in the red zone.
Antonio Williams is listed at +410 odds for an anytime touchdown. Williams had a long score negated by a penalty in the previous meeting against New York and offers deep-threat capabilities for Washington’s offense.
