The New York Giants reportedly closed as betting favorites for the first time since November 2024 in Week 15 -- of 2025. Frankly, the timing couldn't have been much worse for a club that's already been eliminated from playoff contention.
Giants fans have had their sights set on what lies ahead beyond this season for what feels like forever. Winning does them little good outside of boosting morale and building confidence for the future, especially in a "toilet bowl" with the Washington Commanders.
Knowing this, Big Blue Nation dreaded seeing Washington as underdogs heading into a paradoxically franchise-altering NFC East showdown for both sides.
