The Green Bay Packers (5-3-1) travel to East Rutherford to face the New York Giants (2-8) in a Week 11 matchup at MetLife Stadium. Both teams enter the game with contrasting narratives: Green Bay is fighting to stay in playoff contention, while New York is in transition after firing head coach Brian Daboll.
Giants in Transition
The Giants are in upheaval, with Mike Kafka stepping in as interim head coach and Jameis Winston starting at quarterback after Jaxson Dart’s concussion. The team has struggled offensively, ranking near the bottom of the league in scoring, and faces additional challenges with injuries to key players. Defensive standout Brian Burns, tied for the league lead with 11 sacks, remains a bright spot.
Packers Seeking Redemption
The Packers are coming off back-to-back losses, including a disappointing defeat to the Carolina Panthers. Quarterback Jordan Love has struggled without tight end Tucker Kraft, but Green Bay’s defense continues to perform well, allowing just 16 points to Carolina and 10 to Philadelphia. Head coach Matt LaFleur will look to stabilize the offense and exploit New York’s weak run defense Yahoo Sports.
Odds and Predictions
According to FOX Sports and BetMGM, the Packers are 7-point road favorites, with the over/under set at 43.5 points according to Vegas Odds. Analysts expect Green Bay to lean on its ground game against the Giants’ struggling rush defense, while Winston’s tendency for turnovers could tilt the game in the Packers’ favor.
