Packers vs Giants Prediction
For a point spread bet, I’m going with Green Bay at -6.5. I believe the Green Bay rushing offense will take full advantage of the weaknesses in New York’s defense, as they struggled in their most recent game. Before kickoff, I’d get a bet down on Green Bay with -6.5.
Green Bay’s games this season have seen an average of 41.8 points scored. Given the current over/under line at 37, my choice is to go with the over.
