New York Giants QB Eli Manning has thrived after the bye week<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Green Bay enters Sunday\u2019s game on a five-game win streak, which is currently tied with the Denver Broncos for the longest such streak in the National Football League.\u00a0 The Packers will be seeking revenge from a 37-20 loss to the Giants in last year\u2019s NFC playoffs.\u00a0 \u201cThey were the better team and they won,\u201d stated Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.\u00a0 The Packers have won 13 of their last 16 games away from Lambeau Field, while they also possess the league\u2019s best record with a 24-4 mark over their last 28 regular-season games.\u00a0 Green Bay is 6-1 ATS as an underdog since 2010, something to consider when making your NFL picks against the spread in Week 12.<\/p>\n

The Packers rank second in the league in both sacks and sack yardage, but will be playing this game without star linebacker Clay Matthews.\u00a0 It will be a challenge to get to Eli Manning, considering New York has allowed just 12 sacks, but six of those have come in the last two games.\u00a0 Green Bay has compiled a solid 7-3 record when being featured on NBC\u2019s Sunday Night Football, while going 10-4 in prime-time games overall since 2009.<\/p>\n

New York will aim to win its fifth straight post-bye contest, as the week of rest couldn\u2019t have come at a better time, considering the defending Super Bowl champions scored just 33 combined points in back-to-back losses to the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers.\u00a0 The Giants are expecting a huge performance out of signal-caller Eli Manning, who has thrown for 1,290 yards and 10 touchdowns with a single interception in his last four games after the bye week.\u00a0 New York is 2-3 ATS as a home favorite of three points or less over the last two-plus campaigns.<\/p>\n

The Giants figure to have an edge in this game due to the previous champion winning nine of the last 11 games that featured the last two Super Bowl winners against each other.\u00a0 New York owns a 6-4 record and holds a 1.5-game lead in the NFC East division.\u00a0 Manning will be facing an improved defensive unit this time around, as Green Bay ranked last in total defense a year ago, as it enters 12th in the NFL this week.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Giants due to their 9-2-1 ATS mark versus winning teams, while the Packers are 3-7 ATS following a spread win.<\/p>\n
