New York Giants at Green Bay Packers Final Betting Prediction

The most important question if you’re an NYG fan is who will play quarterback? The answer is Daniel Jones. The Giants’ QB1 practiced this week.

The fact head coach Brian Daboll didn’t bring in a quarterback to back up Jones means the G-Men also feel good about Tyrod Taylor’s chances of suiting up. With the major question out of the way, we can get down to handicapping this intriguing matchup.

The betting line favors the Packers big, but that’s a mistake. Green Bay rushes the ball well. Aaron Rodgers has no wideout targets. So if we handicap based on each team’s ability to rush the football, the Giants will not only cover, but should also have a chance to win this straight up.

No doubt, Saquon Barkley, the Giants’ RB1, will be the best player on the field. Barkley is unstoppable and last Sunday, New England exposed the Packers’ rushing attack for being mediocre.

Daboll’s bunch may not win. But the Giants should have no trouble keeping the difference at 7 points or less.
