Giants host Commanders in Week 10 Thursday night rematch of 27-27 tie

The New York Giants host the Washington Commanders tonight, Nov. 12, in a Week 10 Thursday Night Football game at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Kickoff is at 8:15 p.m. ET, with the NFC East lead at stake. The Giants are 5-2-1 and lead the division. The Commanders are 2-5-1 and have lost every road game this season. The teams tied 27-27 four weeks ago in Washington after a 13-point deficit was erased, and overtime ended without a winner. J.J. McCarthy, acquired from Minnesota after Jaxson Dart was ruled out for the season with a knee injury, now starts at quarterback for New York in place of Jameis Winston. McCarthy (hip) and running back Cam Skattebo (hamstring) practiced fully Tuesday. Oddsmakers have the Giants favored by 1.5 to 2.5 points, with an over/under of 40.5. Giants coach John Harbaugh called the game a tiebreaker. Inclement weather is expected, and the Giants are holding their White Out game.

The New York Times, on the left, runs a live-updates page built on team analysis. It covers the quarterback change, the injuries that have hurt Washington, the lack of major trades and the standings effect of the tie, which it blames on a gaffe on a short field goal. On the right, the New York Post leads with a free viewing guide and the oddities of the tie: missed kicks, no two-point try and a scoreless overtime. It also quotes Harbaugh and promotes the White Out. Fox News centers on betting, with the Giants favored by 2, and recaps Washington's season, blaming poor clock management for the tie. All three agree on the records, the 27-27 result and the Giants' slight edge. They differ on cause and emphasis. The New York Times stresses roster moves, while the right-leaning outlets stress spectacle and wagering. Alternative outlets add a distinct angle: Yahoo Sports on the weather, and CBS Sports on picks, odds and series history.
