Gallery: 5/5
New York Giants at Green Bay Packers
Line: GB (-4.5)
Pick Against the Spread: NYG (+4.5)
The unstoppable force vs. the immovable object. Aaron Rodgers is playing MVP-level football again, while the Giants defense, which was one of only two teams to pick off Rodgers twice this season, has been playing lights out and ranks fourth in pass defense efficiency ratings. Even if you give Rodgers the advantage in that particular matchup--which is fair, considering how he's playing--Odell Beckham will likely create problems on the other side of the ball against Green Bay's severely banged-up secondary. I think this one ultimately comes down to a field goal either way, so I'll go with the Giants getting points. (Getty)
