Giants advantage(Offense): Probably will utilize Eli's air raid and as long as O line can hold a bit, it will give chance for Eli to release TD passes because of weak backfield of Redskins

Giants advantage(Defense): Giants have the strongest backfield so far compared to any other team's backfield Kirk Cousins have faced(Jags, Eagles, Texans) Giants backfield should be able to somewhat nullify the air raids of Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins passes.

Giants disadvantage(Offense): Giants don't run the ball a whole lot as I would assume that Giants will try to take advantage over poor backfield of Redskins. Also Giants don't have a great line up at the offensive line of scrimmage. The line has to protect Eli

Giants disadvantage(Defense): Giants might have difficult time defending against Alfred Morris and the rushing of Redskins offense.

Redskins advantage(Offense): They'll have to take advantage over the poor rushing defense of the Giants. The Redskins will have some success with rushing the ball.

Redskins advantage(Defense): Redskins have stronger run defense compared to the Giants but they're NOT an elite defense. At the same time, Giants don't run much anyways(which can be a disadvantage for the Redskins) Also Redskins will be able to take advantage of poor line of scrimmage at the offense of the Giants.

Redskins disadvantage(Offense): Giants have stronger backfield compared to teams like Jaguars, Texans, and Eagles which they have faced. We'll have to see how effective Kirk Cousin's air raid will be against a stronger backfield of the Giants. If they fail to score via air, they might lose the game because if passing is neutralized then Redskins offense will be one dimensional which will benefit the Giants.

Redskins disadvantage(Defense): Their backfield is a big problem as Giants main offense is through the air and I think Redskins will have a lot of trouble with defending the backfield.

Conclusion:

Redskins have home field advantage and have some advantages but also have disadvantages. If Giants offensive line are able to give some protection to Eli Manning they will have an opportunity to get back at the Redskins. I think this will be a high scoring game and Redskins may look to take it away but Giants won't go down without a fight. I say a fairly close game with slight advantage on Redskins and a chance for Giants to steal the victory at the last minute.
