00:02 The Green Bay Packers, a six point road favorite against the New York Giants in
00:07 MetLife, the over under 37.
00:10 What's so intriguing, Donnie Wright's side, about this matchup,
00:14 this is just the second game this year.
00:16 The Packers will be booked as a favorite.
00:19 The only one prior to this was the first Sunday in November.
00:23 Green Bay lined up as a three, three and a half point favorite against a Brett
00:27 Rippin led LA Rams team.
00:29 They won that game 20 to 3 easily covering as a three,
00:34 three and a half point favorite.
00:35 This is nearly a touchdown though.
00:37 Six points in favor of Green Bay on the road against Big Blue.
00:41 The Giants emerging out of their bye week as that home underdog.
00:45 >> Yeah, it doesn't scream as a total in this football game for
00:47 me where you say to yourself, okay, what are we getting here tonight?
00:50 37, 37 and a half, let's see if it goes over.
00:53 The reason why is, look, I know we're excited here about our guy Tommy DeVito,
00:56 right, picking up dubs out here, making the rounds in North Jersey.
00:59 I would be doing the same thing, eating it up,
01:01 having some fun with the spotlight.
01:02 But let's be real, the offensive performance over the past three weeks,
01:05 111 yards on the ground against Dallas, 61 yards in the air.
01:08 Against Washington, 91 on the ground, 201 in the air.
01:11 Last game against New England, which you won 10-7, 58 yards on the ground,
01:15 162 in the air.
01:17 That's where the issue comes in here.
01:19 And also, from a Green Bay perspective, attacking,
01:22 you know coming into this football game, Ben, you have to empty the playbook out
01:25 here and leave it all out there at this point.
01:27 You just have to be sensible in offense.
01:28 And also, the offense has woken up for the Green Bay Packers.
01:31 Very efficient, very good over the past three weeks.
01:34 But you know what, just skimming through here, sometimes, you're keeping track of
01:38 all these football teams out of sight, out of mind sometimes here.
01:41 I'm saying to myself, any time touchdown market, and
01:43 let's just say the receptions market here.
01:45 I'm like, ooh, Christian Watson probably has a chance to get off tonight here.
01:47 And then I find that, of course, he's hurt with the hamstring and
01:50 will not play tonight, which limits the explosive content you're going to get out
01:54 of the Green Bay lineup.
01:55 So for me, this game plays to an under here.
01:57 I don't know if he gets the 40 points, but if I'm looking from a,
02:01 let's just say a player perspective, wouldn't you lean on the running games?
02:04 Both of these football games can be run on.
02:06 And you know Saquon Barkley's probably in store for at least 15 to 20 rushes at
02:11 that point here, and maybe taking a look at an AJ Dillon or so
02:14 from a Packers perspective.
02:16 Taking the aerial out of this football game, that aspect, and
02:19 looking more to the ground game guys here.
