Giants vs. Commanders: Trends, Picks, Predictions, and Key Matchups for Week 1 NFC East Clash

A classic NFC East rivalry kicks off the 2025 season as the Washington Commanders host the New York Giants. This matchup features a compelling quarterback duel, with sophomore sensation Jayden Daniels starting his much-anticipated second season for Washington. Last season, Daniels showcased his dual-threat capabilities, throwing for 3,568 yards with a 25-9 TD-INT ratio and a 69.0% completion rate, while adding another 891 yards and six touchdowns on the ground. He’ll be tested immediately by a formidable Giants defense.

Across the field, the New York Giants turn to veteran Russell Wilson to stabilize their offense. While his best days may be behind him, Wilson brings a steady hand and experience to a team desperate for offensive consistency.
