Giants vs Packers Prediction

The current betting odds have the Giants listed as a 7.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Giants are off to a hot 3-1 start only dropping the 1 divisional game against the Cowboys. They do have some issues for this game though with both of their QBs going down last week and it is unknown who will start for them here. Whether it is Jones or even Davis Webb, the Giants offense will be fine as they have a good coach calling the plays and they have found ways to win 3 of their 4 games with a makeshift lineup every week. The only constant in this offense is Barkley and he is ready to go for this game. The Packers are also off to a 3-1 start winning 3 games in a row now, but they are going to be in a foreign country here and are not going to perform as well as if they were actually at home. The Packers have won 3 games in a row now but their last 2 wins were both very close coming within a field goal and the Patriots were even able to take the Packers to OT almost winning the game with their 3rd string QB Bailey Zappe getting thrown in early in the game. The Packers are playing well on defense in their games but their offense still has some issues that need fixing and this is just too many points to be laying with them in a foreign country. The best way to place a bet here is on the Giants to cover the spread in this game.
