The Packers and the Giants both have a solid veteran quarterback at the helm. Unlike many teams this season, their starter hasn’t been affected by injury yet. The teams are equally matched in rushing yards per game, but the Giants have far exceeded the Packers with nearly 100 more passing yards in 2016.
Defensively, the Packers have allowed more passing yards. The Giants also have a higher third down conversion percentage with 45.2 percent to the Packers 37.2 percent. Other than that, the teams are well matched defensively.
The one glaring difference in these two teams is their offensive line. The Packers O-line has stepped it up a notch this season, while the Giants hardly give Eli a moment to think before the pocket collapses. The quarterback with the most time to make crucial decisions wins this matchup. Expect Green Bay to increase their record to 3-1 on Sunday night.
