Taking a look at which teams will take the field in NFL Week 4 on Sunday Night Football in primetime

The New York Giants head to Lambeau field in NFL Week 4 to face the Green Bay Packers in a game that’s sure to display everything Sunday Night Football should be.

After a painful loss to the Vikings in Week 4, the New York Giants look to face another NFC North team, the Green Bay Packers. The Giants fell to 2-2 after a mediocre performance on both sides of the ball against the Vikings on Monday.

The Giants aren’t alone in their struggle against the Vikings. The Packers also lost to the Vikings in Week 2, but not nearly as bad, losing by only three points. With only two wins each, this game will be crucial for both teams if they want to stay relevant in their divisions.

The Packers and the Giants both have a solid veteran quarterback at the helm. Unlike many teams this season, their starter hasn’t been affected by injury yet. The teams are equally matched in rushing yards per game, but the Giants have far exceeded the Packers with nearly 100 more passing yards in 2016.

Defensively, the Packers have allowed more passing yards. The Giants also have a higher third down conversion percentage with 45.2 percent to the Packers 37.2 percent. Other than that, the teams are well matched defensively.

The one glaring difference in these two teams is their offensive line. The Packers O-line has stepped it up a notch this season, while the Giants hardly give Eli a moment to think before the pocket collapses. The quarterback with the most time to make crucial decisions wins this matchup. Expect Green Bay to increase their record to 3-1 on Sunday night.
