Green Bay Packers vs. New York Giants Prediction

The Packers are 3-1 on the year and looking for their fourth win of the season. Green Bay has recently had a couple of close calls but has escaped in both games.

The Packers defeated the Buccaneers on the road, 14-12, and beat the Patriots, 27-24, with the Patriots using Bailey Zappe under center.

Green Bay has been a bit underwhelming this season and seems to play at their opponent's level. Unless, of course, they're playing the Bears.

The Packers average nearly 400 yards of offense per game, with 250 coming in the air. Aaron Rodgers has thrown six touchdowns to just three interceptions but hasn't even reached 1000 yards through four games.

The running game has been electric between Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon. That's one of the bests duos in football, as the run game has averaged close to 150 yards per game.

On the other hand, the Packers only allowed 315.3 yards per game defensively. However, the run defense isn't going to last. They've looked poor in that regard. However, against the pass, the Packers have allowed just 188.5 yards per game. The coverage and pass rush has been effective for Green Bay.

Meanwhile, the Giants will want to run the ball anyway. They've had the most success rushing the football, earning 192.5 yards per game on the ground. Daniel Jones and the Giants' offense have averaged just 160.5 yards in the air per game.

With Green Bay struggling against the run, the Giants have an area of strength they can capitalize on. Saquon Barkley and Daniel Jones have combined to rush for over 600 yards in four games.

New York doesn't have many reliable receivers now, with Kenny Golladay not even making the trip to London and Sterling Shepard injured.

On the defensive side, the Giants have been an average group. They're getting stops when they need them the most. That's not a stat but an observation. Those things matter when a game has a spread of eight or more.

Rodgers should still have success against that coverage for the Giants. His young receivers are going to start to shape up. But again, the Giants will also find their way into the end zone with the running game.

Therefore, I'll take the Giants to stick around using their run game and take those eight points.
