Mark Sanchez effect completely changes Giants-Redskins

Modal Trigger

Mark Sanchez

Though the schedule says the Giants are visiting the Redskins on Sunday afternoon (Fox, 1 p.m.), betting markets are suggesting the G-Men are really on the road against an expansion team.

Mark Sanchez is the starting quarterback? Not for a team that matters.

The Giants will likely close just above a field-goal favorite Sunday at kickoff. Let’s assume a line of -3 ¹/u2082, which would be -6 ¹/u2082 on a neutral field … or 9 ¹/u2082 at MetLife Stadium.

The Giants have been priced well below “playoff caliber” all season, with two of their recent wins coming against other also-rans, and the other coming at home against a backup quarterback.
