Packers vs. Giants 2013, Week 11: New York wins 4th straight over struggling Green Bay

Evan Western of Acme Packing Company believes the Packers offense performance left a lot to be desired:

Ed Valentine of Big Blue View has a renewed sense of hope for the Giants:

The Giants began the season 0-6 but now sit just a game-and-a-half back from the division lead at 4-6. No NFL team has ever made the playoffs after losing their first six games. The Packers have dropped three straight since losing Rodgers.

Tolzien threw his third pick as the Packers drove toward the endzone in the final two minutes, breaking a streak of seven-consecutive completions. He finished the day 24-of-34 for 339 yards with no touchdowns.

Tolzien led the Packers down the field with 1:18 remaining in the half in a drive that resulted in a 57-yard field goal from Mason Crosby. The kick was one yard shy of the Packers’ franchise record and is the longest kick ever made against the Giants.

Offensive consistency has aided the defense. After giving up at least 27 points in each of their first six games, the Giants have given up a total of 34 points in their last three games.

Ed Valentine at Giants blog Big Blue View is talking about ... playoffs?

At SB Nation, two out of six panel members picked the Packers to win. At ESPN, that ratio was two of 13, and at CBS only one of eight had faith in Green Bay on the road. At Yahoo!, both experts picked the Giants to win their fourth game in a row.

The prevailing opinions of NFL experts align with Vegas, where the Giants opened the week as 3-point favorites and have since moved to 6-point favorites on some sports books, according to Odds Shark. Hasty conclusion? Aaron Rodgers is pretty darn good, and he’ll need to get healthy quickly if the Packers are going to make the playoffs and go on a Super Bowl run.
