Green Bay vs. Giants: The Daboll Dump and Love's Last Stand?

Seriously though, what a mess in the Meadowlands. Just yesterday, there was this breaking piece of news: The Giants have had enough and kicked the head coach to the curb—Brian Daboll is outta there! It's already the middle of the season; they are 2-8, and to add insult to injury, they managed to squander another lead, this time to the Bears. A franchise with so much history stuck there with the second-worst record in the entire league. They appointed Mike Kafka as the interim coach. Wow, rearranging the Titanic's chairs again! You have to wonder, can a fresh face actually do anything against the Packers right now?

Green Bay is rolling into MetLife Stadium as 7 1/2-point favorites, which, in the NFL, is a pretty massive spread for a road game. And the line might even creep up. Why? Because the Giants’ rookie QB, Jaxson Dart, suffered a concussion in the Week 10 loss and is almost certainly out. Get ready for the Russell Wilson show, and let's just say that show has been getting terrible ratings lately—three starts, three losses for the veteran.

But, let's not pretend the Packers are world-beaters. Their offense is straight-up plagued with mistakes this season. It's maddening. Just look at the Monday night loss to the Eagles: a dropped pass on fourth down, an illegal formation penalty that wipes out a 22-yard gain. Those are the kind of boneheaded errors that have been a theme for Jordan Love and this young receiving corps. 

They’re leaving their defense completely stranded, and that defense, with the addition of Micah Parsons, is legit! Matt LaFleur is getting dragged by the fanbase, and rightly so; his offensive play-calling feels stagnant, predictable, and frankly, lost, especially since they lost TE Tucker Kraft. Now they’re playing a corner, Bo Melton, at receiver, and he's making costly gaffes.

So, here's the thing: Vegas loves the Packers, because the Giants are a certified mess, injured at quarterback, and dealing with the drama of a coaching fire. But the Packers' biggest opponent is themselves and these relentless mistakes. If the Giants' defense can somehow rally around Kafka and force Love into a turnover or two, maybe, just maybe, this line is too high. Otherwise, it’s just a layup for Green Bay, who need this win badly to quiet the noise back home.
