The Green Bay Packers can improve to 9-3 going into the final quarter of the 2019 season with a win over the struggling New York Giants on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
Matt LaFleur’s team is 2-0 after losses this season, and they’re attempting to rebound after a 37-8 loss in San Francisco last Sunday night.
Here’s how the staff at Packers Wire believes the Week 13 matchup will go down:
Zach Kruse (8-3): Packers 31, Giants 17
A couple of takeaways of Daniel Jones and 2-3 touchdowns from Aaron Jones get the Packers back on track. Keep an eye on the weather. The elements – including the wind – could play a big factor. But the Packers are more talented and have a big advantage at quarterback, and they’ll be refocused after Sunday’s disaster in San Francisco.
Jack Wepfer (8-3): Packers 30, Giants 17
The Packers get right and work to reset the narrative. The Giants are beat up and starting a rookie quarterback. Without many weapons, Daniel Jones will struggle in the face of pressure. The Packers roll with another big game for Aaron Jones. Rodgers also will rebound statistically.
Marty Kauffman (6-5): Packers 28, Giants 13
The Giants will be down many offensive weapons and have one of the league’s lowest-ranked defenses which should provide an easy road win for the Packers. With poor weather conditions a possible factor, expect a heavy dose of Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams and the Packers defense to be presented with many turnover opportunities.
Anthony Nash (7-4): Packers 28, Giants 17
The Giants have been stumbling throughout most of the season and will come into this game down many of their offensive weapons. Combine that with a rookie quarterback and one of the leagues worst defenses, and this should provide a great opportunity to right the ship for the Packers. The weather is expected to be poor, so expect a heavy dose of both Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones as the Packers look to get back in the win column.
Nolan Stracke (6-5): Packers 34, Giants 20
Green Bay has a big opportunity to bounce back after the humbling loss to San Francisco last week. The Giants, sitting at 2-9, have one of the worst defenses in the league and will be without several key starters on both sides of the ball. This is a game the Packers or any good team should win, but it could also be a proverbial trap game. The Packers have put together good games against good teams after losses this season, so they should know how to handle the lowly Giants at MetLife Stadium.
Joe Kipp (7-4): Packers 31, Giants 21
This is a true ‘get right’ for Aaron Rodgers and the passing game. The Giants have arguably the worst secondary in the entire NFL. All week we heard about how the Packers lack the necessary weapons to truly contend on offense. Sunday’s game will provide the perfect opportunity to prove those doubters wrong. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Davante Adams go for over 150 yards and a touchdown, but the real question is who will step up outside of No. 17? The Packers win relatively easy, and the score doesn’t necessarily reflect their dominance in the end.
