Since 2007, the Packers are 19-5 against the spread as underdogs: I'm
not a great fan of this kind of stat, but in this case it sums up my
feelings about this game.
The Giants have looked poor of late and Manning has been out of sync
with the rest of his offense. The Packers' secondary is soft, but as an
entire stop unit, they operate pretty efficiently. Even missing Clay
Matthews they can mount a decent pass rush and the Giants have problems
along the offensive line. Bradshaw is banged up: look for Andre Brown to
get touches.
The Packers' run game isn't too pretty either, but Rodgers should be
able to get after a middling secondary and I expect him and his
receivers to put up numbers: look for Randall Cobb.
I'll take the points.
Pick: Green Bay Packers +2 @ 2
Pick: 1st TD Randall Cobb @ 9
Pick: Anytime TD Andre Brown @ 2.38
