Even though the Redskins are 1-1 and the Giants are 0-2, they're both in the thick of the NFC East race.
The injuries Dallas has sustained and the walkabout Philadelphia is on make the division a blurry mess in which anything could happen.
So when Washington (No. 21 in AP Pro32) visits the 3 1-2-point favorite Giants (tied for 26th in AP Pro32) on Thursday night, plenty is on the line for a September game. The winner can be considered a legitimate threat, at least for now. The loser — not even New York if it falls a third straight time — can be dismissed.
