This should be a fun one to watch. The Green Bay Packers are coming off a bye week and sit at 2-1 for the season, they've picked up a victory in their only game at home over Detroit prior to the bye week and are looking to build on that. The Packers opened the season with a pair of road games at Jacksonville and Minnesota, which they split, but in this game play a second of four straight home matchups.
Fun fact: Giants head coach Bob McAdoo was a Packers assistant from 2006-13. Whether or not that helps him grasp the idea better of playing inside Lambeau Field remains to be seen, but McAdoo certainly does need to find a way to corral his team and get everybody playing on the same page. Star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. seems to be checking out of games mentally and following last week's game he had some strange comments for reporters. Beckham Jr. is one of the better guys in the league but his attitude looks like it has become a problem. If he is going to get back on schedule he's going to need a big game here and that could happen as the Packers are one of the worst teams in the league against the pass, allowing better than 307 yards though the air per game.
Aaron Rodgers is still one of the league's best and he is tough to beat at home. Take into account the Giants are playing on a short week following Monday Night Football and you have a recipe for a Packers win, provided they don't come in rusty from the bye week.
Eli Manning has won some big games here and the Giants have been in some close games this season as well. Turning it over has been a problem for New York, this year they rank 30th in the league with a -8 turnover differential. If they turn it over here, they'll lose.
