Green Bay’s march to its second-straight Super Bowl continued to pick-up steam with a 27-15 victory over Detroit on Thanksgiving as a four-point road favorite. The win moved its record to a perfect 11-0 straight-up and to 8-3 against the spread. The total has gone ‘over’ in seven of its 11 games this season.
Aaron Rodger’s march to this year’s league MVP award remains right on track as he has this Packers offense ranked fourth in the NFL in total yards per game and first in scoring with an average of 34.7 points a game. This performance has helped mask a defense that is ranked 30th in total yards allowed.
New York’s season is on the brink after three straight losses have dropped it to 6-5 SU (4-6-1 ATS) and one game in back of Dallas in the NFC East. This past Monday night, the Giants were crushed by New Orleans 49-24 as seven-point road underdogs. The total went ‘over’ the 51-point line and has now gone 6-4-1 in their 11 games.
Eli Manning was the toast of New York City after leading the team to an upset of New England on the road in Week 9, but in the recent three-game skid he has reverted back to his old form with four interceptions, one lost fumble, and five sacks.

Green Bay is 8-2 ATS in its last 10 road games and the total has stayed ‘under’ in 12 of its last 17 games on the road.
New York is 0-3-1 ATS in its last four games at home and 1-5-1 ATS in its last seven games overall. The total has gone ‘over’ in 11 of its last 17 home games.
The road team in this series is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and the Packers are 5-2 ATS in the last seven games. The total has gone ‘over’ in four of the last six games between the two.
Count on head coach Tom Coughlin to have his team ready for this game, as the Packers take their eye off the prize just enough to allow the Giants to cover with the seven points.
The Pick: Green Bay 24 vs. New York 21
