Coming into this NFL regular season as defending Super Bowl champions, the Green Bay Packers were thought to be the best team in the NFC Conference and a legitimate contender to pull off the repeat. Even though the Packers were able to keep the team relatively intact and get everyone back healthy, the consensus was that this season would be a bit tougher for Aaron Rodgers and company as it is never easy to repeat in the NFL.

Despite the doubts surrounding the Packers, Green Bay has been absolutely flawless in the first 12 weeks of the NFL regular season by winning 11 straight games and proving to the entire league that they are without a doubt the best team in the NFL. The Packers defense might not be as good as it was last season, but Charles Woodson and company have been good enough to secure big leads by Green Bay all season long.
Whether or not the Green Bay Packers can continue to rely on their defense to hold leads in the playoffs remains to be seen, but for the meantime this team seems to be firing on all cylinders and flirting with the possibility of a perfect season. With an 11-0 record heading into Week 13, there aren’t many people that believe the Packers can be beaten in the regular season, but they might have a tough test ahead of them on the road as they are set to square off against the New York Giants at New Meadowlands Stadium.
After three straight losses and a few injuries along the way, the New York Giants have gone from being the first place team in the NFC East division to a team that is in serious danger of missing the playoffs entirely. Not only have the Dallas Cowboys been red-hot as of late after winning four straight and jumping to the top spot in the NFC East, but if the Giants don’t get back to their winning ways over the next couple of weeks they will be in danger of missing the playoffs entirely.
With the Giants in danger of a falling to a mediocre .500 record with a loss to the Packers, New York has to turn it on this weekend at New Meadowlands Stadium in what will almost certainly be their toughest game of the season. Even though I believe New York is capable of pulling off the upset and handing Green Bay the first loss of the season, the Packers are just playing out of their minds right now and will be extremely tough to stop offensively.

As of right now, the Green Bay Packers have been given the edge to get the best of the New York Giants in Week 13 with a -7 point spread in their favor. With the Giants defense as banged up as it is, the Packers will look to take advantage and might lock up their 12th straight win before halftime.
Take the Packers at -7.
