Green Bay Packers (6-6) vs. New York Giants (4-8)
Green Bay Packers vs. New York Giants 12/11/23 – Green Bay Packers will meet New York Giants at MetLife Stadium for this Week 14 NFC matchup, both teams fighting to stay within playoff contention and making this game crucial in order to stay alive. While odds seem to favor Green Bay on the road, let’s review key matchups and betting trends as bettors and fans alike look towards this matchup as an opportunity to identify NFL moneyline free picks in betting markets.
The Giants offense has relied heavily on Saquon Barkley’s legs this season, who has amassed 697 rushing yards through 9 games. But their passing attack has lagged behind, with quarterback Daniel Jones averaging only 151.5 passing yards per game. Meanwhile, Packers defense has become more vulnerable against run recently but still ranks 12th best overall; its versatile secondary could take advantage of Jones’ inconsistencies to take control of this matchup.
Packers quarterback Jordan Love and running back AJ Dillon lead an all-encompassing attack that boasts over 238 passing yards per game thrown. Dillon brings power running capabilities that complement Aaron Jones in the backfield for added threat on offense. Together they represent an aggressive offensive approach which should test a Giants defense allowing an average of 8.33 points per game this season.

Jordan Love GB QB vs. Daniel Jones NYG QB
Jordan Love has 2,866 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and 10 interceptions so far. While he’s thrown his share of picks, the young quarterback has shown the arm talent and playmaking ability that made him a first round pick. Playing on the road against a poor Giants secondary plays to Love’s strengths. He should be able to hit big throws all night.
Daniel Jones has struggled with 6 interceptions and just 2 passing touchdowns this season. However, he has made plays with his legs, rushing for 387 yards and 3 scores. Jones will need to avoid turnovers and convert third downs with his feet to keep drives going against Green Bay’s opportunistic defense.
NFL Odds/Point Spread: Green Bay Packers -270, Total Odds: 38
The Packers are favored with a -5.5 point spread and -270 on the moneyline, indicating oddsmakers’ confidence in their ability to secure a win. The total set at 38 points, with the over at -111, suggests a relatively low-scoring game.

Considering the trends and team performances, the Packers appear to have an edge, particularly in offensive firepower. For those looking at premium handicapper reviews, this game seems to lean towards Green Bay, but the Giants’ home-field advantage and potential for an upset should not be entirely discounted.
The point spread suggests a close game, but the Packers might be the safer pick, especially with their recent ATS performance.
