Betting on the New York Giants
- Regular Season Record: 3-1
- BetMGM Spread: +8.0.
- Moneyline: (+275).
- Over/Under: 41.5.
The Giants have shown that it doesn’t take much offense if you can stop your opponents’ attack, at least in their first three wins of 2022.
Taking full advantage of the Bears’ three fumbles, the New York team keeps fighting for the lead in the NFC East with a great victory in which they barely conceded 12 points, all of them by field goal. While stopping the opponents’ ground game continues to be the team’s main problem, this is the third time this year that they have allowed 20 points or fewer, something very important before facing the stellar Aaron Rodgers.
Against the Packers’ quarterback, the defense must be flawless in order to provide the offense the opportunity to win with as few scores as possible. The most New York has scored this season was 21 points in Week 1, and Daniel Jones had his worst performance against the Bears with just 71 yards through the air.
Against Green Bay, which has twice allowed more than 250 yards on the ground, Saquon Barkley will be vital to the Giants’ chances of winning.
Betting on the Green Bay Packers
- Regular Season Record: 3-1
- BetMGM Spread: -8.0.
- Moneyline: (-345).
- Over/Under: 41.5.
After starting the season with a loss, the Packers have picked up the pace that is expected of them with three straight wins under Aaron Rodgers.
The quarterback recorded his second consecutive 250+ yard game against the Patriots defense, and now he’s totaling at least two touchdowns in each of the team’s wins. Faced with the Giants’ strong defense, it will be critical for the offense to limit turnovers: they are ranked in seventh place in the league with seven turnovers, including three interceptions by Rodgers, who had just four in the whole of last season.
Defensively, things are also going well. For the third week in a row, the opposition has failed to total more than 300 total yards against the Packers and twice they have conceded 12 points or fewer. The Giants’ offense is one of the weakest in the league, so if they can stop their ground game, victory will be much closer.
JefeBet Prediction
Betting on the Giants can always be risky, but the team’s good defense has them with a 3-1 record and their only loss, to the Cowboys, happened by seven points. This season, Green Bay has a 1-3 record playing against the spread, while New York is 3-1 in the same situation.
It looks tough for the Packers to lose this Sunday, but it also looks tough for them to crush the Giants in such an important matchup and after so many hours of flying.
Prediction: Giants Spread (NY 17 – GB 23).
