Giants and Commanders to face off in Week 10 as Kalshi shares trade near 50 cents
New users can claim a $55 bonus on the prediction platform, while the SportsLine model projects a high-scoring clash between the NFC East rivals.

The New York Giants, currently holding a 5-2-1 record, will host the Washington Commanders, who stand at 2-5-1, to open NFL Week 10 on Thursday. This NFC East matchup serves as the focal point for the latest promotion on the prediction market platform Kalshi, where the code CBSSPORTS55 offers new users a $55 bonus after trading at least $25. The offer is available to those who verify their eligibility and state restrictions before placing their first trades.
Market participants can buy shares on the Commanders winning for $0.46, while shares on the home Giants victory are priced at $0.55. The pricing reflects the Giants' superior position in the division, although their recent schedule included opponents like the Titans and the injury-plagued Eagles. The Commanders have a recent history of close games against New York, having lost a Week 5 overtime contest 27-27 after failing to score with the ball inside the 25-yard line.
Quarterback dynamics will drive the game. Washington’s Jayden Daniels threw for 199 yards and rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns in the previous meeting. New York has replaced starter Jameis Winston with J.J. McCarthy, who threw for 487 yards in his first two starts but was limited to 127 yards in a 19-11 win over Philadelphia on Sunday. McCarthy is expected to play despite dealing with a hip pointer, while Giants running back Cam Skattebo is managing a hamstring injury.
The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, gives the Commanders a 52% chance to win on the road. The model projects a combined score close to 50 points, with the teams exceeding 43 points in 61% of simulations. Kalshi shares for the teams combining for more than 41.5 points trade at $0.48, given the expected rain, while shares for 41 or fewer points are listed at $0.53.
Both teams field talented rosters. The Giants rely on a group of pass-catchers led by Malik Nabers, Malachi Fields, and tight end Isaiah Likely. The Commanders, who have their own injury issues including the absence of Terry McLaurin, depend on Stefon Diggs, who has recorded 303 yards and five touchdowns this season. Kalshi notes that prediction markets are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and offers users tools such as trading breaks and personalized funding limits to manage risk.
