The Commanders are a 4.5-point favorite in this week's contest, which points towards a rushing game script.THE BLITZ projects the Washington Commanders as the 10th-most run-heavy team in the league near the goal line (context-neutralized) right now with a 44.9% red zone run rate.Antonio Gibson has received 40.9% of his team's red zone rush attempts this year, placing him in the 80th percentile among RBs.Opposing squads have run for the 6th-most TDs in the league (1.15 per game) versus the New York Giants defense this year.The Washington Commanders have gone up against a stacked the box on a measly 12.2% of their plays since the start of last season, 6th-least in the league. Positioning an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
