Giants Begin Mike Kafka Era vs. Packers as Jameis Winston Likely to Start
Betting markets give Green Bay a seven-point edge entering Mike Kafka's first game with Jameis Winston likely under center.
Overview
- New York hosts Green Bay on Sunday at MetLife Stadium with the Giants at 2-8 and seeking to halt a four-game slide.
- Jameis Winston is expected to start for the Giants as Jaxson Dart remains in the NFL concussion protocol.
- The Packers are 5-3-1 and arrive on short rest after a Monday night loss to the Eagles, their second straight defeat.
- The current line is Packers -7 with a 42.5 total, and forecasts call for seasonal conditions with possible showers and 10–15 mph winds.
- Matchup focus: the Giants have struggled against the run, boosting Josh Jacobs’ outlook, while Winston’s career line versus Green Bay includes seven touchdowns and no interceptions; Romeo Doubs is the Packers’ healthiest wideout option.
