Hello Everyone!
Over 44 NY Giants @ Green Bay
Looks like a great day for football in Green Bay with temps in the low 60's and some scattered clouds. Two teams going in opposite directions facing off today at Lambeau. Packers coming in off of BB to losses. This should be enough motivation to have them very interested in todays outcome.
The first thing that sticks out is the defense or lack of for both teams. Banged up in the secondaries, both VETERAN QB's should have plenty of open throwing lanes today. If the Giants don't copy the Colts game plan they should be ashamed.
Todays QB's are also playing very solid football. Both come into the game off of strong performances last time out. I like the way Warner seems to be regaining his confidence. I think you will also see TE Shockey more involved today as well.
On the Packers side of the ball they have a balanced attack led by Favre and Green. Greens ability to run the ball against a Giant defense giving up 124 Yds/Gm should allow Favre loads of time to find Walker and company downfield.
Any time I choose an over play (rarely lately) I need three key factors. #1 Both teams must have weak secondaries...Check #2 Must have decent running games..Check #3 QB's must not be struggling...Check.
All of these scenarios are in place. Passing teams run more plays, stretch the game clock and generally give me a better shot of getting over my number which I had at 47 for this game.
Look for a close game won at the end by a field goal.
