It's been a few years since London fans had an elite quarterback come to town. This weekend the 3-1 Green Bay Packers become the 32nd team to play a regular season NFL game in the UK when they meet the 3-1 New York Giants. Here are our Giants-Packers picks.
Back-to-back league MVP, Aaron Rodgers, was critical of his own performance in last week's 27-24 overtime win over the New England Patriots, who played most of the game with their third-string rookie quarterback. The Giants have quarterback issues of their own as they prep are to cross The Pond. Daniel Jones exited Week 4's 20-12 win over Chicago with an ankle injury, and his replacement, Tyrod Taylor, left with a concussion. Running back, Saquon Barkley, played as a wildcat QB for a few snaps.
Here are our Giants-Packers NFL picks for Week 5 (odds via DraftKings Sportsbook and PointsBet; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
