THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Giants | +10.8 | -3.9 | +14.7 | +16 |
| Packers | +8.6 | +2.0 | +6.5 | +18 |
SRS is how many points a side beats an
average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good
team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20.
SOS is how hard that schedule has been.

IN THE BOOTH
Luca Santana
Analyst
New York came in 8-2 and built for the playoffs, but Jordan Love's best afternoon of the season—329 yards and 3 touchdowns on clean efficiency—combined with Green Bay's 178 rushing yards exposed how much the Giants lean on passing: they threw 76 percent of the time and managed just 53 on the ground, a recipe that lets defenses tee off when the arm has an off moment.

Green Bay won a shootout where New York should have controlled the line—the Giants' expected win rate was 80 percent based on point differential, yet they got outgained 507 to 340 and managed just 53 rushing yards, which meant Dart had to beat them alone, and on 1 turnover to Green Bay's 1, that math doesn't hold up.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers —
none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that
did not happen.

Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
