The potential return of Darren Waller from the IR adds another layer of suspense.
Eyes are on the Packers' camp: Will RB Aaron Jones make a comeback from his knee injury?

Defensive Strategies:
The Packers' offense has seen phases of both mediocrity and excellence, averaging 17 points per game between weeks 2-7 and escalating to 26 points per game for the rest of the season.
Jordan Love, though relatively inexperienced, benefits from a solid offensive line. The Giants' defense needs to capitalize on his limited starts and pressure him.
An overview of the Packers' offensive weapons, from rookie sensations in the receiving corps to emerging talent in the tight end position.
Final Thoughts and Keys to Victory:
Exploiting the Packers' offensive inexperience is crucial. Defensive coordinator Wink is expected to unleash all strategies.
Prioritizing pass defense to force the Packers into a more run-oriented game.
Recognizing the Packers' strength in keeping teams out of the endzone, the Giants must adopt an aggressive offensive approach, capitalizing on every opportunity to score touchdowns.
Tommy DeVito's continued improvement is a key factor in the Giants' offensive success.
Emphasizing mistake-free football while capitalizing on any errors made by the Packers will be instrumental in securing a victory.
