NFL Monday Night Football Best Bets & Predictions: Packers vs. Giants

(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

Packers vs. Giants

The Packers are on a three-game winning streak where they’ve gone into each contest as an underdog. The play of Jordan Love has been key. He’s been excellent, compiling 857 yards and eight touchdowns during the streak. However, one glaring stat also playing a huge role is the +5 turnover difference in these games. The Packers have played very well, but they’ve been the beneficiary of some big turnover opportunities as none of the wins came by more than one score.

The Giants have been playing pretty well recently in their own right. Tommy DeVito has started to get comfortable in this offense, and he was able to lead the Giants to two straight wins. Another big reason the Giants have had success is the pass defense. The defense downright dominated Mac Jones and the Patriots two weeks ago and followed it up by shutting down the then-league passing leader Sam Howell to a 230-yard day on 45 attempts. The Giants have around a league-average pass defense per DVOA, but they’re playing some of their best ball now.

Love will struggle to succeed through the air against this defense. The Chiefs were able to slow him down a bit in the second half, and the Giants could have similar success. Offensively, New York should have some success on the ground, and given the trend of low-scoring games in primetime this season, a slow defensive ground game will serve the Giants well if they want to cover this spread.

Pick: Giants +6.0 (-112)
