The New York Giants are back home for the first time in nearly a month, returning to MetLife Stadium after two road victories over the Houston Texans and most recently the Philadelphia Eagles with their bye week sandwiched in the middle of those victories in Week 8.
Big Blue kicks off Week 10 with their Thursday night debut in 2026 as they get set for a divisional contest in hosting the Washington Commanders.

It’s hard to forget the last time these two NFC East foes faced off in Week 5, with the end result being a 27-27 tie after Washington’s egregious clock mismanagement at the end of overtime.

The G-Men are coming off of a historic win in the City of Brotherly Love, as the Giants won their first game in Philadelphia with a 19-11 victory over the slumping Eagles, with rookie Arvell Reese stealing the show with 12 tackles, three sacks and a forced fumble against the Birds.
Reese and this defense will aim to put together another strong effort versus Commanders’ QB Jayden Daniels, viewed as one of the best dual threat quarterbacks in the NFL.

Will the Giants and Commanders tie again or can one these teams come out on top in this NFC East matchup?
Here are our staff predictions for Giants-Commanders on Thursday night from MetLife:
Bert Bainbridge
The pick: Giants 27, Commanders 24
Here’s why: This one doesn’t end in a tie this time around, but the first team to 27 points does actually win this one this time as the Giants come out on top yet again in McCarthy’s first home start, as the G-Men continue to separate themselves from their fellow division mates in the NFC East.

Dave Rivera
The pick: Giants 24, Commanders 23
Here’s why: Let’s not have a tie again. J.J. McCarthy will hear the support from Giants fans in his first home start Thursday night at MetLife. This one will go back and forth with the Giants defense making a late stop.
Brian Marron
The pick: Commanders 30, Giants 23
Here’s why: Washington largely dominated the Giants in their last meeting before blowing a late double-digit lead and grossly mismanaging the end of overtime. As long as the game does not come down to properly executing the final play, the Commanders should be able to outscore a hobbled J.J. McCarthy to keep their season alive.

Mike Dougherty
The pick: Giants 27, Commanders 24
Here’s why: Playing a desperate team is a good test for the Giants at this point in the season. How will they handle prosperity? Teams with good leadership keep the level of intensity high and John Harbaugh sets a great example.
Bob Jordan
The pick: Commanders 24, Giants 20
Here’s why: Letting Philly stay within upset range shows the Giants are still going a bit sideways despite the hype. The trade deadline has come and gone. Unfortunately for Big Blue, Walter Payton wasn’t available.
