Five Questions with the Opponent: Is this the Packers’ inaugural trap game?
After the significant victory, fans are ecstatic.
Following their surprising victory against Kansas City last week on national television, supporters of the Green Bay Packers (-6.5) have not stopped talking. The Packers are now in the seventh and last slot in the NFC playoffs, which is a far cry from their dismal start to the season.
The rest of Green Bay’s schedule is also easier, which increases the likelihood of a postseason spot.
are arguably the hardest opponent left, yet even they appear to be losing ground.
Nevertheless, the Packers must never rest on their laurels and must treat every opponent with respect. They begin their Monday night football game in the East against the New York Giants.

1. Under Brian Daboll, the Giants performed admirably and signed Daniel Jones to a large contract. They rank among the league’s more disappointing teams this season. What took place?
Many things. LT The first series of the game resulted in a hamstring injury for All-Pro quality player Andrew Thomas, who missed seven games. From there, injuries and some bad choices left the offensive line in ruins until lately. Daniel Jones stagnated, in part due to the terrible offensive line. Then he sustained injuries. Two times. Saquon Barkley suffered a wound. The Giants played two games against the 49ers and Cowboys in their three-game opening stretch in 11 days. In the first six weeks, they also had the Bills and the Seahawks.
All they could actually escape from was an avalanche of unavoidable circumstances.
2. Although Saquon Barkley has missed a significant portion of the season due to injury, the Packers have occasionally had trouble stopping the run. Can he lead this club past the Packers and is he still a serious threat?
He still poses a serious threat, for sure. He is the conduit for the offense, so the Packers should see a lot of Barkley. Even though he is still recovering from a severe ankle injury, he is a dangerous player whenever he has the ball in his hands.
3. Outside of New York, not many fans are familiar with Tommy DeVito. What aspects of his work does he excel at and what doesn’t? Report on your scouting, please.
DeVito tosses the ball nicely. When he has the opportunity, he can throw the ball down the field with confidence and accuracy. A cult hero in the New York-New Jersey region, DeVito is an Italian boy who went to high school in New Jersey and is still living with his parents. He energizes and plays with zeal, and he shocked the Giants.
DeVito doesn’t seem to have the strongest arm, and while he can run, his legs don’t really pose much of a threat. Due to his inexperience, he has endured a lot of flak and pressure in the last several weeks. He usually holds the ball and exhibits hesitation or indecision when his initial read or choice doesn’t work out.
