This is going to be a TOUGH game. Unfortunately, the strength of NYG is the D line. That doesn't match up well with GB's general O line weakness.
-
On the plus side, this should be a ST matchup GB will win (for once) and our D should get a turnover or two.
-
Bottom line - if we keep Arod upright and keep their backs to under 125 yds combined, we win.
