Live NFL - New York Giants at Washington Redskins BBC Red Button 1.30am

I suppose the pick here depends largely upon whether you believe Eli Manning is really back on track after last week's performance, or whether junior's arm will become a noodle again, and if the Giants are beginning their usual run down the stretch.

The poor Washington secondary could be in for a long night, with targets like Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz on offer. The loss of Andre Brown during the game against the Packers was unfortunate, but Ahmad Bradshaw can keep the ground game rolling against a Redskins' defense that can give up yards: look for Bradshaw down near the goal line, fumbles notwithstanding.


Washington go through rookie phenom RGIII and he will challenge the Giants tonight, especially with Garcon back in the lineup, the continued development of Aldrick Robinson and the ever youthful Santana Moss - all of whom can produce the big play against another shaky secondary. Robert Griffin's ability to run will be critical as ever, as New York have shown some form against the run and Alfred Morris may find the going a little tougher than he did last time he took on the Giants where he went for 120yds.


This should be close, with both teams showing some nice form, but I'll just give the edge to the visitors.


Pick: New York Giants -3 @ 2.15

Pick: 1st Ahmad Bradshaw @ 8.5
Pick: Anytime TD Hakeem Nicks @ 2.2; RGIII @ 2
