This game projects as the #3-slowest paced game of the week, with an average of 25.91 seconds per play. A slow pace means both teams will struggle to run a lot of plays (129.5 total plays are projected here). It will take them longer to march down the field, which means fewer possessions for each team and fewer opportunities to score.
The Washington Football Team have run play action on just 34.1% of their pass attempts this season, #3-lowest in the NFL. The Giants have run play action on 31.1% of their passes this season, #7-lowest in the NFL. Play action passes are a hallmark of strong analytic offenses because they confuse the defense and stand a greater chance of being completed. Teams that don't run play action fail to realize this advantage.
The Washington Football Team have run some form of misdirection (either a trick play, trick look, motion, or play action) on 71.5% of their plays this season, #3-least in the NFL. Misdirection confuses the defense and puts players out of position, so naturally, when a team chooses not to mix up their looks (like we see here), their offenses tend to be less effective and score fewer points.
The Washington Football Team have gone for it on just 30.9% of their fourth-down decisions this year, #1 least aggressive in the NFL. The analytics show that going for it on fourth down, while risky, generally leads to more points. Teams that play scared score fewer points.

This is a short week for both teams, and each will have to make due with fewer days to rest and prepare for the game. Coaches and players like routine, so the disruption of a short week may lead to a wider range of outcomes and less efficiency on both sides of the ball. These two teams are divisional opponents. This rivalry should add extra significance to the game, and both teams are likely to be ultra motivated. The last time these two teams played each other was Week 9 in 2020. That game resulted in a road win for the Giants with a final score of 23-20.

This matchup has the #1 lowest Game Total this week. Low Totals imply there will be a lack of scoring opportunities and also correlates to a lack of offensive yards. The betting handle for this Game Total is noteworthy, because there is two sided action. The Under is receiving the majority of the Bets, however there is more Cash on the Over. Approximately 52% of the Bets have been on the Under, while 71% of the Cash has been wagered on the Over. This likely means there have been relatively large wagers on the Over.
