On Thursday Night Football, the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins are about to face each other and attempt to even their 2-2 record.

The Giants emerged from their consecutive losses last week when they defeated Washington at home.

Bleacher Report said that their prediction would favor the Giants with a final score of 18.1-14.1. The outlet noted that the wide receiver, Victor Cruz, will continue his amazing performance like the previous games that showcased his offensive prowess.

The team's first victory against the Houston Texans ended 30-17 with Cruz giving about more than 20 points to clinch victory.

His teammate, on the other hand, Eli Manning is also expected to contribute to Thursday's game and work closely with Cruz.

It has also been reported that the Redskins' performance was also notable as they "played almost well enough" especially in terms of offense. Despite their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Redskins were still able perform well.

ESPN analysts also have their own predictions on the outcome of Thursday's game. Dan Graziano predicted that Washington will win with a 28-16 score.

"The Giants were able to control the game and play with a lead Sunday against a Houston team that didn't have its best offensive player and couldn't get its act together. Washington is loaded with offensive weapons and will require the Giants' offense to match them score-for-score, something I don't think they're built to do just yet," Graziano added.

But for Ian O'Connor, the Giants will emerge as the victor, saying that Manning will be able to handle the offense of his opponent leading his team to get just enough points to win. Other analysts like Kieran Darcy, Ryan Ruocco, Dave Rothenberg and Robin Lundberg also support the fact that the Giants will win, owing it to the fact that they are the "healthier team" and the one will really step up their offense on Thursday.

Jane McManus, on the other hand, maintains that Washington is a better team who will outshine the Giants on game night.

Bleacher Report said that the Redskins may also have the chance at the game, saying that they are the home favorites with a 5-2 record.

Both teams may have had issues in their past games and they are expected to overcome them before going to the field on Thursday, but their respective fans surely expect that they can step up offensively and defensively.

Some reports claim that they are just hoping for a sustained game performance from the Giants and the Redskins coupled with their effort to work on their weaknesses and do better as a team.

A good game can surely be expected from these teams who would want to impress their fans and followers with a great performance on Thursday night.
