Green Bay Packers at New York Giants Betting sees the success story of the Wisconsin franchise rolling on. They are still on course for that perfect season, and it really is in touching distance now with just five games (including this one) remaining for the season. The Packers rolled out a 27-15 win over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, and with closest Conference challengers the San Francisco 49ers suffering a surprise defeat, the Packers look set to completely wrap things up. It means after the last round of matches that the Packers are now two games to the good over the 49ers and you can’t see a big shift happening in the regular season run in to see them losing the NFC. As League leaders, the Packers are naturally strong favourites to win the Superbowl as well this season, and a remarkable season it would be if they swept all the way to Superbowl glory without defeat. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has thrown 33 Touchdown passes this season, already his best return ever on a season.

Their next test on Sunday is against the New York Giants who have gone on a bit of a skid. The Giants are holding a 6-5 season record at the moment and are just about in touch with the Dallas Cowboys who are one game up on them in the NFC East. So there is still a lot to play for for the Giants, but they need to a win to stop a run of three consecutive loses. The Giants, without question have defensive problems, and while they have home turf in Green Bay Packers at New York Giants betting, the consensus is that the visitors, will at some point take advantage of the weaknesses back there. The thing is, that the Packers have not been defensively sound by any stretch of the imagination. It has been their powerful offence which has seen them through. In their last match against the Lions, the Packers stretched out a big lead, and then allowed their opponents back into the match in the final quarter, not the first time they have done that, and you wonder if it will ultimately be their downfall which will cost them their perfect season.

As the pressure mounts on them completing that feat, the more the nerves will grow and perhaps the cracks will show. Because of the slide of the Giants though, it is likely that the Packers will have enough in offence to take the game and roll one closer to that perfect season. We can sum this up with a few stats. The Packers beat the Giants 45-17 on Boxing Day last season, and while the Giants have a slightly better defence, the Packers have the fourth best overall offence, compared to the 11th overall from the Giants, who have the worst rushing offence in the league.

Can the Packers, the defending Superbowl Champions go all the way unbeaten in the regular season? Last season they went 10-6 on the regular season and then were unbeaten in the play offs. That means they are actually 17 matches unbeaten and have clearly passed what they achieved in the regular season last year. The Packers are now 7/5 at Bet365 to go 16-0 for the regular season and are 15/8 at Paddy Power to win the Superbowl.
