And while the Packers had a strong start, many are now wondering the injury to Rodgers will cost them a spot in the playoffs.<\/p>\n With their field general out the Packers will go <\/b>with third string quarterback Scott Tolzien, which means the offense, will have to rely more on rookie running back Eddie Lacy, who is emerging as a legitimate NFL running back. In the past six games, he has rushed for 618 yards and had at least 22 carries.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, Green Bay still possesses a number of receiving threats in Jordy Nelson, James, Jones and the newcomer Jarret Boykin giving Tolzien a ton of options.<\/p>\n Tolzien did reasonably after coming into last week’s game against Philadelphia in the second quarter, throwing for 280 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions for injured backup Seneca Wallace. Meanwhile, the Giants (3-6) have been resurrected, winning three straights after an awful start to the 2013 campaign. \u00a0Now the Giants trail NFC East co-leaders Dallas and Philadelphia by just 1 1\/2 games and with a few more wins could make a late-season playoff drive.<\/p>\n The biggest contributer for New York’s turnaround has been cutting down on turnovers and a revitalization of a defense that surrendered an average of more than 34 points through the first six games but has permitted 34 in the last three wins.<\/p>\n Credit can also be given to quarterback Eli Manning was has only been picked off once during the Giants current winning streak, after throwing 15 interceptions to start the season.<\/p>\n The running game has also gotten a major boost with the season debut of Andre Brown last week, who rushed for 115 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries to alleviate the demand on Manning.<\/p>\n This is a tough game to call, as the Giants were terrible to start the year but have since turned things around.<\/p>\n The Packers meanwhile, were postseason contenders until Rodgers went down and now have lost two straight.<\/p>\n This will be a ground battle, and if Lacy can keep the Giants off the field, they can keep this one within a touchdown.<\/p>\n Giants 23, Packers 16<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Green Bay vs New York NFL Handicapping A depleted Packers team heads to the Big Apple on Sunday to take on the suddenly surging New York Giants who look for their fourth win in a row.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":978,"featured_media":29906,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[522,3251,1550,53122,57174,31683,17219,959,57173],"class_list":["post-69165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-giants","tag-green-bay","tag-green-bay-packers","tag-green-bay-packers-vs-n-y-giants","tag-green-bay-vs-n-y","tag-n-y","tag-n-y-giants","tag-packers","tag-packers-vs-giants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/978"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69165"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69165\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69173,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69165\/revisions\/69173"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
