Sunday night’s action in the NFL should be a good one with the New York Giants going on the road to face the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Game time for this NFC tilt is set for 8:30 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast nationally on NBC.
New York at Green Bay Game Overview
New York’s promising 2-0 straight-up start has quickly deteriorated into a .500 record with back-to-back losses to Washington at home and Minnesota on the road. The Giants are just 0-3-1 against the spread and the total as stayed UNDER in three of their first four games. They are coming off their worst effort of the season in a 24-10 loss to the Vikings this past Monday night in a game that was not even that close.
The Giants’ success or failure on offense still hinges heavily on the play of veteran quarterback Eli Manning. He tossed three touchdowns against just one interception while completing close to 74 percent of his throws in early season wins against Dallas and New Orleans. Over his last two outings he has been picked off three times against just one touchdown throw and his completion percentage dropped to 60.2.
Green Bay is coming off an early season bye week with a 2-1 SU start, but it has been tough on bettors with a 1-2 record ATS after closing as a favorite in all three games. The total has gone OVER in two of the three games including a 34-27 victory against Detroit in Week 3 as a 6.5-point home favorite. This was the Packers most complete effort of the season after a pair of shaky performances against Jacksonville in a tight win and Minnesota in a tight loss.
Aaron Rodgers is another quarterback that plays a huge role in his team’s success or failure. He too was somewhat shaky in his first two starts this year, but against the Lions things returned to form with four touchdown throws against no interceptions. He only put the ball up 24 times in that game, but he made all 15 completions count. The Packers’ offense is ranked 29th in the NFL in average yards per game (293.7), but it jumps all the way to 11th in scoring with an average of 25 points a game.
