An extreme running game script is implied by the Commanders being a huge 7.5-point favorite this week.Opposing offenses teams have been unwilling to pass too much against the New York Giants, totaling the 8th-fewest attempts in football (just 33.7 per game) this year.John Bates ranks as one of the bottom TEs in football at picking up extra yardage, averaging a lowly 3.15 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) this year while grading out in the 16th percentile.This year, the daunting Giants defense has conceded a measly 61.1% Adjusted Completion Rate to opposing TEs: the best rate in the league.As it relates to linebackers in covering receivers, New York's group of LBs has been phenomenal this year, grading out as the 9th-best in the NFL.
