I was not impressed with what I saw out of Green Bay last week against New England. The Patriots were down to their third string quarterback, yet the Packers could not put the game away in regulation. New York has played four really tight games and has found a way to come out with three wins. I think Green Bay will win this game, but eight points is too much for me. I am taking the Giants here.
