Betting Preview
The Giants started out the season a little sluggish going 2-3 after five games. With an offense that isn’t very good, they managed to finish out the rest of the season winning nine of their last 11 games. The credit has to be given to their defense which is ranked 10th in total defense but only gave up 17.8 points a game ranking them second in points allowed.
If the Giants weren’t anything else they were consistent as they never scored 30 points in any one game or allowed any opponent to score 30 points in a game. Quarterback Eli Manning had a good year, throwing 26 touchdowns and passing for over 4000 yards as he led an offense that averaged only 19.4 points a game and was ranked 29th in rushing.
The Packers had a fantastic second half of the year as they ran the table winning their last six regular season games. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the way with 15 of his league leading 40 touchdown passes during that streak while passing for over 4400 yards which was good for fourth best in the NFL this season.
Green Bay’s offense was on fire when it counted as they scored at least 30 points in each of their last four games. They averaged 27 points a game for the season which was fourth best in the league.
The oddsmakers have made the Packers a 4.5 point favorite and set the total at 44.5. According to Covers.com Consensus Analysis 54% of the public have faith in that consistent Giant defense and are behind New York while 61% think there will be enough scoring to go around and are backing the over.
The total has gone under in seven of the Giants last eight games overall while in eight of Green Bay’s last 10 games overall, it has gone over.

SERVICE BIO
WHO IS THE ICEMAN? He’s no soothsayer and he doesn’t have a crystal ball, but Jesse Schule can indeed predict the future. As a professional handicapper, it’s actually part of his job description. His clients have accused him of secretly possessing Marty McFly’s Sports Almanac, but he tells us the secret to his success is thanks in part to his fascination with history. The idea that you can predict the future by studying the past is nothing new. Historians have been doing it for years.
Career Highlights:
- Perfect 5-0 Super Bowl Card (2018)
- Perfect 6-0 NBA Finals Futures (2017)
- Perfect 8-0 card X-Mas Day (2016)
- Perfect 8-0 NCAA Tourney picks Sweet 16 - Final (2015)
- Picked Germany +$700 to win World Cup (2014)
- Picked Marcus Mariota +$700 to win Heisman (2014)
Handicapping Methodology: Jesse is not a believer in systems, programs or number crunching formulas to handicap games. He is firm in his belief that you aren't playing against the sportsbook, you are playing against the average Joe (other bettors). Jesse is notorious for attacking inflated point spreads, soft lines and totals that are a little out of whack. He also relies on a nearly photographic memory with an uncanny ability to tell you a player's history and stats dating back for decades. Anyone can look up how many touchdowns a guy has scored, Jesse can also tell you about the ones that he almost scored.
Money Management: His plays are rated based on a 5-10 star system, and he recommends wagering 0.2 percent of your bankroll per star rating. So a top rated 10* play would represent a bet equal to two percent of a player's bankroll.
Signature Plays:
AFTERNOON EXECUTIONER: This title is reserved for games with a start time between 12:00 – 4:30 ET. These are popular with action junkies who are dying for the games to get underway.
The TERMINATOR: Jesse's signature totals play, the Terminator has established a reputation as one of the most consistent winners in Schule's repertoire.
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE: These plays represent a game where the stats show a significant trend which isn't reflected in the price.
GRIM REAPER BLOWOUT: His signature play reserved for medium to large favorites. High percentage plays for those who don't mind laying chalk.
HOT DIGGITY DOG: This is the Iceman's signature underdog play. About as rare as strawberries in December, you'll want to grab these whenever they are available
