Week 13 at Giants
After the Packers drop to 8-3 on the season with the loss in San Francisco, they stay on the road, traveling across the country to MetLife Stadium for an afternoon matchup against the New York Giants. Sitting at 2-8 on the season, the Giants have obviously not enjoyed a great deal of success this season.

There are signs of hope for Big Blue, it should be said. Daniel Jones has been as inconsistent as you’d expect a developmental rookie to be since taking over for Eli Manning but the flashes of quality play have been impressive. Meanwhile, Saquon Barkley remains an elite talent that’s hindered by a poorly performing offensive line.
That ailing Giants O-line is going to play a major factor against the Packers in Week 13. Za’Darius Smith and Preston Smith have been tremendous additions to the Green Bay defense this season, providing one of the most consistent pass-rush duos in the league. They should have a field day getting after Jones and, though the run defense is suspect, Barkley should be kept in check.
Making matters more decisive, the New York defense has been quite uninspiring in every facet of the game this season, giving up 28.9 points per game. Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams should both have their way when given the ball while Rodgers should barely break a sweat in dicing up this Giants secondary for an emphatic bounce-back win.
Predicted Outcome: Win
