After months of waiting patiently, Washington Commanders fans finally have a regular-season game in their sights. But for head coach Dan Quinn and his players, getting off to a strong start against the New York Giants in front of a sold-out crowd at Northwest Stadium is crucial.

Expectations couldn't be much higher for the Commanders in 2025. Their sensational run to the NFC Championship game, coupled with some aggressive offseason moves from general manager Adam Peters, has fans dreaming of another bold playoff bid this time around. The Giants won't be an easy out to begin the campaign, but anything less than victory would be seen as a major disappointment.

Nobody is complacent. Everyone has the same hunger to succeed that enveloped the locker room last season. This mentality should serve them well with a bigger target on their backs, but starting on the right note is critical with Thursday's tougher test at the Green Bay Packers on the immediate horizon.

Jayden Daniels prop bets

The Commanders are expecting Jayden Daniels to cement his status among the league's elite quarterbacks in Year 2 of his professional career. While the Giants have a lot of questions, their defensive front seven is exceptional, so the dynamic signal-caller needs to be at the top of his game and hope others meet their end of the bargain.

Daniels' over/under for passing yards in Week 1 stands at 222.5. This is available at -113 in both directions (bet $113 to win $100). He's projected to complete around 20.5 passes from 30.5 attempts.

His over/under for passing touchdowns stands at 1.5. This is available at -114, depending on which side of the marker you fancy (bet $114 to win $100).
