1. The new look Giants

In the modern day NFL, if a team struggles to consistently score around 25 points per game, the team has little chance to be successful. Last season, the Giants averaged an ugly 15.2 points per meeting, the main reason they only won four games.

The days of Jason Garrett and Joe Judge’s ultra conservative offense are over. In its place, Brian Daboll from Buffalo and Mike Kafka from Kansas City will blend ideas from the two best offenses in football.

The change in philosophy from ultra conservative to highly aggressive could be a game-changer for this Giants offense. Zack Rosenblatt, the Giants beat reporter for NJ Advanced Media, found an alarming statistic illustrating just how unaggressive the Giants were a season ago.

"“Jones only threw deep ball passes (20-plus yards in the air) on 6.6% or his pass attempts in 2021, worst in the league among 42 quarterbacks to throw at least 10 deep balls.”"

Daboll’s offense however, saw Josh Allen throw deep balls just under 13 percent of the time each of the last two seasons, double the amount Jones did.

The Packers have a stout secondary led by Darnell Savage Jr. and Jaire Alexander, but as the old adage goes, ‘you miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take’ so you better believe Daboll will attack, and the more shots you take, the higher the chance that at least one of them hits. Daboll and Co. will be ready to get this done vs. Green Bay too.
