This should be an interesting battle, especially if you remember Josh Norman going at it with O`Dell Beckham last year when Norman was with Carolina. Norman severely got in Beckham`s head, as Carolina was up 35-7. and Beckham caught his first ball with 5:19 left in the third. The difference here is the fact that the Redskins simply don't have any other playmakers on the field, and also have Victor Cruz in a mismatch on the other side. Eli Manning has a 106.9 passer rating, connecting on 73.9% of his passes at 8.3 yards per attempt - some elite early numbers vs. a bad defense. Kirk Cousins has four receivers that have all had at least eight catches through a pair of games, and that will make things tougher than they have been on the Giants to this point of the season. Washington allowed 35 points to Green Bay in the playoffs last season, and what we have seen early on is more of the same. Through two games, the Redskins have allowed 32.5 points per game, and they have now played seven straight OVER the total going back to last year. The Giants have played to an 11-5 mark to the OVER in their last 16 vs. the NFC. In Cousins' 14 NFL games as a road dog have seen the OVER go 11-3, with close to 53 points per game scored. Take the OVER.
