A.J. Dillon Breaks 100 Yards Rushing:
The Packers’ rushing attack has been lackluster this season, but A.J. Dillon could be poised for a breakout game against the Giants’ porous run defense (4th-most rushing yards allowed per game). With Aaron Jones still battling injuries and the weather turning colder, expect Dillon to receive upwards of 20 carries and finally eclipse the 100-yard mark for the first time this season.
Dontayvion Wicks Continues to Shine:
Rookie wideout Dontayvion Wicks has been a bright spot for the Packers, averaging 16.3 yards per reception with seven catches of 20+ yards. His production has climbed in recent weeks, and he’s a key contributor to the Packers’ success in the big-play department (4th in the NFL with 28 passes of 25+ yards). Look for Wicks to continue his hot streak with another big performance against the Giants.
Packers Move the Ball but Struggle to Score:
The Giants’ defense has improved since their Week 10 blowout loss, forcing turnovers and limiting opposing offenses. This trend could continue against the Packers, who might struggle to convert their offensive dominance into points. Expect a high-yardage game from the Packers, but don’t be surprised if they encounter difficulties reaching the endzone due to the Giants’ newfound defensive resilience.
