PACKERS INJURY CONCERNS
The Packers have had injury issues all season, and they’ll be thin at cornerback this week as well, which should be an area the Giants will look to exploit. Corners Damaious Randall (knee), Quinton Rollins (neck) and Makinton Dorleant (knee) all left Sunday’s game at Detroit with injuries forcing safety Micah Hyde to play corner.
Rollins is in concussion protocol, Dorleant was put on injured reserve and Randall had limited practice on Wednesday. To help out, the Packers promoted Herb Waters from the practice squad. Waters was a wide receiver at Miami and moved to corner as injuries piled up early in the season.
LINE MOVEMENT
MyBookie SuperBook opened the Packers -4.5 on Sunday night, and it was bet down with Giants action to -3.5 on Monday. But then Packers money started pushing it back up, all the way up to -5 on Tuesday.
They have settled at -4.5, which is the low number in town along with CG Technology. Most books are sitting at -5 with Station Casinos — knowing the Packers are popular with its parlay clientele — showing the highest number at -5.5.
By Saturday afternoon, the line stood at Packers -5 with an Over-Under of 44.5. The money line, which opened at Green Bay -192, was at -230. SportsLine projected the Packers to win by 6.
