When the Washington Redskins host the New York Giants on Sunday, both mediocre teams will look to keep their playoff hopes alive in the awful ‘NFC Least’. Nevertheless, I think the best for this Week 12 NFL lines pairing is a wager on the Over. Now, let’s find out why!
Officials ruled a touchdown, but replay showed Butler knocked the ball out of Beckham’s hands just before his second foot was on the ground to complete the catch. “I lost us the game with the play down in the end zone, a play that should have been made,” Beckham said. “You can’t leave it up to the officials to get anything right. You’ve got to make the play yourself and it was just a case of playing the play longer than the opponent.”“Not much for me to say about it other than the frustration was — I mean finish the game, just get the game over with,” Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said. “I thought there were times in the second half we weren’t able obviously to sustain any kind of drives and that was frustrating in itself.”New York ranks fourth in scoring (27.3 ppg) but just 24th in points allowed (25.3 ppg).
Quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 21 of 30 passes for 217 yards with one touchdown and one interception but Washington was limited to just 14 rushing yards on 12 team carries in the defeat and Cousins was sacked five times and hurried on numerous other occasions. The Skins also allowed Carolina quarterback Cam Newton to throw five TD passes and no picks in the loss while committing a whopping five turnovers themselves. Still, they expect a better performance at home this week. “When you play at home, it’s pretty common knowledge that you’re going to play better over the long haul,” said Cousins, who is third in the NFL with a 68.3 completion percentage. “Because its home, because you’re in a friendly environment, a familiar environment.”Washington defensive end Jason Hatcher made news during the week by suggesting that league officials have penalized the team more this season because of owner Dan Snyder’s refusal to drop the Redskins team logo. Despite Hatcher’s complaints, Washington is the 11th least-penalized team in the league.The Redskins are ranked 19th in scoring (22.1 ppg) and 25th in points allowed (25.3 ppg) and have not recorded consecutive wins this season. “It’s a new challenge,” Washington linebacker Trent Murphy said. “We were on the other side of this last week, so we have to keep looking forward.”
